Being Happy

There is so much that is fun to do.

I wrote a poem and an article about deadbolts , and I published some other poets' poetry, too.

In addition, the weather since Hurricane Irene has been fabulous. The last couple of days I've been able to do some cycling just around the area. But more than that, it's simply wonderful to walk outside when it's neither too hot nor too cold. When the moments are this delicious, it's so much easier to be mindful of them.

The IJS Retreat Approaches

My wife and I are looking forward very much to the Institute for Jewish Spirituality (IJS) retreat this weekend. We did it last year and it was a very deep experience for both of us.

One of the highlights for me is meditation led by Jordan Bendat-Appell. The energy present at the retreat is incredible, especially when brought into powerful focus by such an adept leader.

Also the vegetarian food is fantastic.
