Your husband's holiday planning sounds like my dream holiday! I can forgo lots of things but books is not one of them ;)

Nor me Gill but now the books have overflowed to piles on the floor I have become a big advocate of libraries and e-readers, But of course there are always those special books!

Good to hear about your tai chi and the significance of different places. I’ve been practicing for about 18 months and have been fascinated by the consequences, which are playing out in my life and writing. Terri

Yes it’s a profound practice, curious to hear more about its effects on you Terri, especially writing.

This piece is so very wise and real and good. It reminds me to do what works in my own spiritual practice, to make changes when I am stale, to adapt to the seasons, inner and outer. Thank you for including my poem. Brigid

Great to hear this Jane, Thich Nhat Hanh’s call to move with life and psyche reverberating through connection. Interested to hear what change of practice emerges for you.

I love the quote about doing what works, until it doesn’t and then I change it. Having just hit a stale spot in my meditation practice, it has helped me see my staleness not as a fault to be worked through, but as an invitation to welcome change, an opportunity for expansion. It popped up in your post right on cue Sally. Timing couldn’t be better, of course! Thank you
