Today could not have been more different from yesterday. Other than by phone, I have had no contact with a single person, a day of pure tranquillity. There would have been a time when I would have been lonely, feel isolated and unhappy, but those days are long gone.
Every day starts with Gongyo and that sets me up for the rest of the day. Chanting clears my mind and boosts my life-energy and having Buddhism as the centre of my life puts everything into perspective. I would like to share the tranquillity I now feel with others, it is a very powerful feeling, and something that would benefit anyone.
Yesterday was a wonderful, if rather tiring day, today has been equally wonderful, restful and contemplative. Some people may feel that having days where, outwardly, you do nothing, is a little boring, sad even. But having time to yourself is a luxury, one for which many folks would give a great deal.
So now I’m rested, relaxed, and all ready to face the trials and tribulations of the coming week. I am off to London for meetings one day midweek and I’m also looking forward to having my broadband connection restored this week too. So a day very, very well spent.
