We met in the ampitheatre again then walked to the ruins of the Norman cathedral, where we did a little relaxation, checked-in wth each other, and read the chapter on Oneness from Bernie Glassman's book "Bearing Witness". We had a good discussion about our own barriers that we erect between ourselves and other people, and how they sometimes come down. Then we headed out for some bearing witness practice on the streets, this week wandering aimlessly (andare a Zonzo as it's called in Italian) and just mingling with the place and the people.
We came back together to discuss the practice, sat in silence for a little while, and then shared a meal together. The squirrel you can maybe just make out in middle of the photo is eating a breadstick from the meal!
Let our heart, our hand, and our table be open to everyone...
Chris
