From Leigh Brasington, a comment made during the retreat:
When insight arises, that seems too precious to be lost, write it down, or better yet, write about it. Also, continue to reflect upon it. And last, share it with noble friends.
This is why I blog and tweet about my practice. And why I am so grateful for the conversations that take place here, on Mind Deep.

ReplyDeleteAs with anything else, what matters most is the intention behind the writing.
What's born is painted rice cakes. I don't even like real life rice cakes!
