sri lanka




i've been missing my meditation master from sri lanka. i loved how simple it was for him to answer my doubts about life. the days at the monastery were simple and marked by the sound of the little bell calling us for the group meditations. we ate little and that made me enjoy the food more. the silence made me particularly enjoy every time i spoke and pay more attention to conversations. the monsoon made me enjoy dryness. (and nothing made me enjoy leeches!) xx without ever trying to understand why i wanted to go do that retreat in kandy, i left it happy with the changes i felt in me. and when i miss that place it's not a painful thing, i just try to enjoy the memories and put in practice the things i learned there. most of them don't come out in words - maybe because they happened in silence
