UPDATE JULY 15, 2023: Back in Denmark. New gallery added below. And these word of prose by Graham Brown that seem a fitting share via a friend at Chithurst:
Here, at the end of the world, all afternoon it’s soaked and poured. Grey clouds looming like a paradoxical blessing. We close our eyes in order to see, we don’t know the question but keep asking. The mind waffles, and the heart is resilient. The heart that just wants to open and open, the heart that longs to Leap out of itself, to embrace the beloved. And the mind says stop being such a pray and the heart replies Fuck You. Keep breathing. Nestled up in this tiny hut against the great ambiguity, and the karmic consequences of drinking too much tea. I nip out between the shrubs while the sky floods
Thick beads of rain
Plopping
On this happy lucky Wally

Due to travel and practice plans starting off in England in mid April I may be offline for awhile, especially during living at monasteries and on retreat. In the meantime there’s some scheduled blog posts auto-publishing as well as any new material if and when time and connectivity allows. Wendy and I still plan to do a Meditation Q & A in May, but likely not in June. I plan to respond to emails and messages if and when I can. May you all be and practice well.
