Bell is invited
Dear respected teacher, dear noble community, dear family
Today is august 14th
year 2017 and we are in Upper Hamlet in our retreat
Wake up Eart retreat, wonderful retreat
So inspiring to see so many young people gathering
practising to wake up
even though we are a little sleepy sometimes, its okay
sometimes its nice to lay in the lawn
and for some of my brothers and sisters
its very new for us to have people
doing yoga everywhere
its not just in here, but everywhere
people are on the path
discovering ways to take care of their body
and their mind
and its a wonderful way to be in the world
we feel lucky to be part of this movement
this Wake Up movement
I know many of us came and we didn't expect
so many people
This is my first Wake Up retreat
I just feel so energised to see
young people stepping on to the path
I think that somehow it nourishes
something
I don't know if its hope
it gives us real conviction-
there are other people doing this
so it gives me a lot of energy
my brothers and sister we stop talking
about it
'God! Did you see that?!'
The other day, yesterday when the
bell chimed at dinner or lunch
or something
everyone in the tea area went PHEUP!
We've never experienced that before like that
Usually there are a few still talking
But it was like PHEUP and we were like looks around
