Met a Trappist this morning when shopping for groceries.
Cleaning continues. Amazed by how dirty everything gets living outside.
Followed up on repairs to my habit. Quilt shop forwarded me to a women, but she was getting her Covid shot and did not time on such short notice.
The secular carmelite invited me to dinner at a nearby restaurant with patio setting. She has a sewing machine and was willing to give it a go. Dinner’s conversation was great. Many topics including aging and dying parents, Religious life and the church. Very thankful for the hospitality. We setup noon tomorrow to met for the drive to the trail.

I tied to be Mr. Hygiene on the trail, but still wound up with a nasty infection.
BrotherPaulOSF says:
My health and hygiene have been good. Lost much more weight then I thought already. No appetite in the trail does not help the issue.

Great joy to share a sit with you on Thursday.
Four Kinds of Samadhi :
1. constantly sitting
2. constantly walking
3. part walking, part sitting
4. neither walking nor sitting
Samadhi:
Perfect union of the individualized soul with infinite spirit. (1) A state of oneness; complete absorption. (2)
Samadhi, which literally means “to direct together,” is the state in which the yogi perceive the identity of his soul as spirit. (3) It is an experience of divine ecstasy as well as of superconscious perception; the soul perceives the entire universe. (4) In other words, human consciousness becomes one with cosmic consciousness. (5) The soul realizes that it is much more than the conditioned body. (6) Christian saints have previously described this experience as “mystical marriage,” in which the soul merges into God and becomes one with Him.
