The question “Why do I sit?” is quite challenging. I notice that the reasons for the many things that I do change from one moment to the next. For example, before, I would read books because my friends read lots of books. I did not want to feel out of place during conversations with them. But now, I notice that I read to enjoy.

How is your life in Indonesia?" My friends from the Philippines and even people in Jakarta ask me. In the five months that I have been here, my answers have ranged from a strong "not okay" to a nonchalant "good" to a  cheerful "happy" remark. To be honest, my life here has been challenging in a positive sense.

"I can’t believe it – 10 days without talking to other people, just sitting and  just meditating!" said Bunny, a friend of mine who had just signed up for the Vipassana meditation course. A part of me envied my friend who could take time off to learn a mind discipline. I have, for a number of years, wanted to attend the course but life situations always just seem to connive to show me that now is not yet my time for it.

                    [Summary] => For the longest time, I’ve been meaning to meditate. But I didn’t know how. Sure, I had some general idea about what took place during the "practice" but it was all in some kind of a haze. All I knew was that I had to empty my mind. But how could I do that? My mind was constantly flooded with thoughts.

Since October is the month of my birth, I decided to make this course a retreat for myself. This retreat gave me 10 beautiful days of silence, time with myself, and some techniques on meditation. Indeed, I received a gift from life about life that came at a most precise time.
