Day Three Hundred and twenty two

I connect with my breathing and I am grateful. I hear crickets outside. They are as they are. My breathing is the same way. Calmness comes to the surface.

After a time, I reflect on the retreat. I know that happiness and love can be brought about in any and all of us. In the same way that mindfulness brought to an object brings about the conditions for concentration, so can mindfulness, when brought to the feelings of separateness and doubt, allow for deep touching and strong faith.
