As the calendar rolls around, we watch winter months slowly creep towards a new year. I continue my three month retreat into the end of January. It has been a mixed bag with some weeks being outstanding. I have found some great wisdom in my efforts to slow down and just be present. Be sure to get a peek of this in my TENKARA AS PRACTICE Article covering "Stillness". Other days though, have been more challenging as I continue to try and fit my retreat around and in pace with a life that still includes, work, family and yes, I will admit it, distractions. Still I find that the more that I practice, the easier it is to return to my retreat. I jump back into "Monk Mode" and find my way again back to my hermitage in the back yard that I have decided to name the "Sky-Mountain-River Hermitage" in reference to my Tenkara Path ethos as represented in my logo. The coming new year will present some changes for this here blog/website. I will make this more clear in January. Don't worry, I'm not joining a monastery and the blog will continue to be a thing. This down time has given me some new perspective. I won't get too far into this as I am just working through some of the details. Be sure to see the featured selections below. I hope that you will find peace and happiness in this holiday season. Make space for yourself, make space for family and learn to be present where ever you are.
