We met at the roman amphitheatre, a wonderfully warm and sunny day. After meditating for a while we read a story from B Glassman's book . The story was about the amount of/lack of religious scripture during a meditation retreat. Opinions were many, varied and shared. I interpreted the story was trying to convey the importance of rejoicing in our differences, rather than searching for our similarities. For it is our differences that make us unique, and it is our differences that make us common. The fact that we are different is something we all share.
After discussing what the story meant, we left the amphitheatre and each of us found our place to sit. Here we witnessed people, nature, and general life in the city. We all met at the amphitheatre, to discuss what we had we had observed, many of us seemed to have had similar experiences of witnessing people and their relationships. We were then led in meditation by wonderful young Tasha, followed by a shared meal, kind company and good discussion.
