So, another retreat leaves me with a refined outlook on life.  I went on a ten-day silent meditation retreat out of town, where I lives like a monk and learned the practice of Vipassana meditation.

If you’ve ever wondered what life would be like out of the rat race, if you’ve ever wanted to be able to focus your mind, if you’ve ever wondered if you could last ten days without communication, this is the thing to do!  My friends all joke about it in public, but they ask me in private how to sign up.

Warning: you’ll be surprised to see just how wild and unruly the mind can get without all of modern day life’s distractions.  For a full disclosure of my experience: http://www.dstbe.com/blog/?p=864
