Fireflies and oneness!
We've missed you, old friends! In the interim, I (Beth) have been away on my first week-long silent retreat at Southern Dharma, with teachings in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh. While there, an unexpected treasure: Fireflies that light up in synchrony with each other! After dusk, when pure darkness has come, you walk up a small incline to the creek; there in that sparkling dark hollow, thousands of fireflies. They are all lighting up at once, and all going black at once. On--twinkle, twinkle, twinkle--- Off-- silent dark--- On--twinkle, twinkle, twinkle---
What a reminder that we are, really and truly, absolutely interconnected!
Did you know, you can bring your tent and sleep down there by the creek. That's what I plan to do next time.
Oh! And I saw a blue-tailed salamander! www.flickr.com/photos/studiesinsolitude/3796515764/
$75 per night included accommodations in the lodge and 3 daily meals (Donna's vegetarian cooking that is out of this world)!
