Hello all,
Happy to be here, and, from the brief overview I've had of the Forum, I think I'll enjoy joining in the discussions.
Great to see so many familiar 'faces'.

“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

Re: Hello from DownUnder
Thanks Ben, Retro,
The Retreat in Tasmania was testing. Coming from the sub-tropic summer 35C to unseasonal weather in the hills near Hobart at 10C with hail one night, (snow on the mountains) rain for eight days, with high winds most of the time - it was lucky I was over a thousand miles from home or I might have considered cutting and running.
I have a few questiions about the Retreat teachings and will consider these for a while, and maybe post here if I can't sort it out internally.
