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
<i>looks around</i>
