Time Flies

In seven days I will be at Spirit Rock Meditation Center.

I am filled with excitement and a bit of anxiety.

The Anxiety – My time at the retreat will be spent in silence. No phone calls or texts with my wonderful wife. I will not be able to sing to my girls or kiss there cheeks at night before bed. In stark contrast to my busy days at home and work I will have my days filled with concentration solely on myself – not an easy transition.

The Excitement – My time at the retreat will be spent in silence. No phone calls, emails, texts or work deadlines. I will have the time to be mindful of every moment of my day. I will have the time to be patient and slow my reactions. For many years I have contemplated such a retreat. I am finally doing it. I consider myself extremely privileged to have this opportunity. I have much to gain from this opportunity and I hope to share all that I can upon my return.
