Well, I'm back after 3 weeks of silence and meditation. Took lots of photos on the way up and back, but it seems like most of them were of flowers. So I'll start with a flower photo. Victoria, BC, April, 2006.

Taking a retreat

It's that time of year again for me. I travel several hundred miles to a center and do 3 weeks of silent meditation. And so today's post will be the last until May 1, when I shall return. Until then, may each of you be safe and protected from inner and outer harm.

Crocus are giving our yard a little bit of color now. Madras, OR, march 2006.
