Spiritual healing
Lying in bed with bronchitis gave me time to reflect on my need for greater spiritual activity in my life. Two years ago I was ordained as a member of the Order of Interbeing, founded by Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. http://www.iamhome.org/ .
Three members of my sangha have recently said they are interested in seeking ordination and accepting the 14 Mindfulness Trainings. If a help mentor them, that should raise the level of spirituality in my life significantly. I exchanged e-mail messages with the three of them (and with my mentor) last night. This could signal a new step in my spiritual development. I know you never learn so well as when you teach.
After that I slept for 13 hours last night, from 11 p.m. until noon today. I awoke with a bad headache and body aches, but then I took some Tylenol, and I felt better.
I spent almost all day resting, although Barbara did drive me into the college so I could pick up the papers I have to grade.I didn't grade any today, but maybe tomorrow.
