I wanted to share with you two aspects of my Day of Silence. One was a strange feeling as staying in a speechless space is not unusual for me-I do that often, yet I decided to stay silent and actionless as much as I could, though did nature and walking and sitting and being in garden and forest, etc. Which I am also used to when I am in a collective retreat, yet now in my own home and surroundings I relentlessly wanted to do something, noticing my action focused thoughts, or callings of the garden, etc. The other piece of sharing is that eventually I took to contemplation and my eyes caught a book on the bookself from Krishnamurti, A Timeless Spring and look what I read when I opened it: "You know, there is a spring, a fountain, that can never be exhausted, that can never go dry.Most of us have lost that or have never found it.To find a spring that is timeless, deathless, a fountain that never dries,never fades away, one has to be alert, and not be either caught in one’s own past achievements or burdened with knowledge, information and systems that are dead."😉
I love this, thank you, Agota. 💗
