Weathered the heat wave in Santa Margarita for a long weekend rounding retreat with my meditation teacher/pal Betsy <3
It was a little emotionally heavy. I went into it thinking about the last time I took a trip, almost a year ago, when we were in the thick of it with Pesto. It turns out meditating five times a day really scrapes up some of these old bad feelings.
I miss him. I wish he and Biscuit could have known each other.
Despite feeling some feelings (yuck!), I had a nice time. It felt great to come home and leave all that cittavṛtti (“mind chatter”) behind.
