the long silence

09/05/2020

Some time has passed since I last put any new material on this website. Was that because I had physically died? No. Or perhaps because I had entered such a deep state of samadhi that all human communication became impossible? Sadly not. No, the reason was much more mundane – I got a job. And what I find with jobs where I am paid to think, is that I end up thinking too much, and that detracts from the depth of meditation.


I am happy to report that my working hours have now been reduced to around half what they were. I trust that will translate into a mind less busy with thoughts. Already I am hearing the birdsong more intensely, seeing and smelling the flowers more vividly, and delighting more in the fresh green leaves on the trees.


So, watch this space!
