Next destination
Posted by emh1969 on May 18, 2008
Sorry for not posting in a while. I’ve been busy getting ready for my next destination. Which is Thailand. I’m going to start by doing a 21 day meditation retreat here: www.fivethousandyears.org This will definitely be one of the more challenging things I’ve ever attempted. Twenty-one days of getting up at 4 am after 6-6 1/2 hours of sleep, twenty-one days of two meals a day with only fruit and juice after noon, twenty one days of basicially nothing but meditation. Kind of like boot camp for the mind. Anyway, you won’t here from me during that time as I’m not allowed to use computers during my stay (or listen to music, or read or do much other than meditate.)
I leave for Thailand on Wednesday around 1 pm. I’ll arrive on Thursday around 11pm Thai time. It will then take me a few days to get to the temple. So I should be able to do a few updates before my 21 days of silence.

Thailand how exciting! Can’t wait to hear about it. Not sure about the retreat, I would last till about 1:00 on the first day. That’s about when I start getting hungry. I didn’t realize you were buddist. I just heard a funny muslim comedian on Mad TV talking about how there’s never any buddist terrorists because they live in the now. Like: “I was planning to walk into a cafe and blow myself up but today I’m not feeling like it’s something I want to do so..” …oh well, I’m not a comedian but he delivered the joke pretty well. I’ll be worrying about you while you’re offline so keep in touch as much as possible.

Wow! I never expected Thailand. Maybe I need to join you! That “diet” would do the trick for me. I hope you have a great time. We’ll be thinking of you. This has been great way for us to teach Blake about the world around us. But he keeps wanting to know when you’ll be back in Va.
Love, T
