OSONOS 2005

[Esther Ewing]

Eric:
Glad to hear you had such a great trip. Could you tell me again the quote  
about the brain? I've been trying to remember it.

Carolynn  and I have returned home after our 5,000 km road trip to the East 
Coast.I  am catching up on the emails.

A deep bow and big thank you to all that  attended OSONOS in Halifax. A deep 
bow 
and a big thank you to those who  organised and supported the event.

The three days have given me much to  chew on. It was a rich experience. I 
feel 
expanded. Delighted also to meet  members of the Rumi nation.

Halifax was hills, harbour, brew pubs, tall  ships, buskers, great Thai food, 
good company.

Cape Breton is  beautiful...took the Cabot Trail to Bay St Lawrence where we 
saw 
fin  whales so close you could see the underbelly and an eye, minkes, and  
dolphins. I know what "Thar she blows" means. I still occasionally make  loud 
whooshing noises.

Travel Tip: Myron the baker at the La Grande  Boulangerie de L'Est on the 
north 
side of Chediac is a rare  jewel.....incroyable....part of the Buddhist 
invasion. 
The Folk artist  whose shop is beside the bakery is a genius.

Also saw Bald Eagles,  Puffins, Guillemots, and "too many seals" out at the 
Bird 
Islands. We  kayaked parts of the Margaree River and the Bras D'Or. We barely 
scratched  the surface of that amazing place, but we do know where Meat Cove  
is.

Eric

P.S.
The following appeared in my email  today.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------


An  affluent industrialist said to the Master, "What do you do for a  
profession?"

"Nothing," said the Master.

The industrialist  laughed scornfully. "Isn't that laziness?"

"Heavens no. Laziness is  mostly the vice of the very active people."

Later the Master said to  his disciples, "Do nothing and all things will be 
done 
through you.   Doing nothing really takes a lot of doing.  Try it!"

Anthony de  Mello, SJ

This being  human is a guest house
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a  depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected  visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they're a crowd of  sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its  furniture,
still, treat each guest honourably.
He may be clearing you  out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the  malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be  grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from  beyond.
Rumi
