quiet spot



Whilst in New Brunswick I live in a small apartment. So I cannot have a separate room to meditate. And it is so important that you don't sit facing a bed or a dressing table. So I face out the window - still not ideal - but I look into a maple tree and I place something on the window seat. This time it was a vase of spirea. So the seat becomes the altar. It is not ideal, but it does work. To sit in quiet in presence is to gain the whole world.
