Beth visited a poet staying at an artist's colony in New Hampshire. you could beguile me with that concept. it's not that I have no time, but that the time is bordered so, and interruptions happen. c'est la vie and I function within that structure, but it would be nice to try that. a different sort of something would be a meditation retreat. my practice isn't up to that sort of concentration yet, and lack of books and notebooks would be a strain. still, something to consider. the retreat centre of Bhante Henepola Gunaratana is somewhere in West Virginia. not exactly near where we're going in June (nothing is near anything in WV, but I say that affectionately), but within a whoop and a holler.
