(I'm just back from a week at a meditation retreat at Vijayaloka, a Buddhist retreat center in the bush just outside Minto in Sydney's southwest. It was great, thanks, and I should have at least a couple of blog items from it.)
One afternoon, I opted out of the 4:00 PM sitting, feeling an urgent need to be outdoors, to lie in the grass in the slanted sun and feel a sense of being on holiday. I found a good patch of grass, with the sun behind me, and gazed randomly into middle distance at the top of a Eucalyptus punctata, where something was moving.
