Yes, I’m about to embark on my next major challenge.Its called “10 days without slowtwitch”. Actually, its ten days without anything much. I’m off to a 10 day retreat which involves no talking, no meat, no books, no notetaking, no exercise apart from a few walks and no sensual thoughts. Hmmm. I wonder which will be the hardest. Maybe without the corruptive influence of slowtwitch I will become a better person for a while. I’ll let you know if I discover anything profound.
Wow…you get nothing. Sounds like 10 days of no fun. How will you keep yourself from thinking about sex?
The hardest thing is going to be trying to describe how calm you ended up getting. I’m interested to see how it goes, as I’ve told you previously.
where is this retreat, and who is going with you?
This one is in New Zealand, although there are centres world-wide. Here is the website: www.dhamma.org It doesn’t really matter who you go with because you don;t get to talk to anyone, anyway. I know two people who have done this. They couldn’t really describe it, but recommended it strongly. Whatver happens, 10 days without cell phones and email has got to be good for you.
sweet keep us posted.
