Quarantine comes from the time of the Black Death in Fourteenth Century Venice. To contain infection people stayed forty days on ships, the Italian word for forty becomes the English, quarantine.

So I am quarantined; that suits me fine. More time to meditate. I will meditate away the extra time that I thought I didn’t have to meditate buy only a week ago.

Glad so many will join me. We’re in this together. In the midst of social distancing, we are connected via social media and our need for connection, collaboration and, well, love.

Today I led a session on loving kindness. My dear teachers taught me that that is what is currently of need.

May we continue to share.

See you soon.

Dan in meditative quarantine, life as a retreat….

Why a retreat. More on that tomorrow.
