Cold Wednesday

7 a.m.: December on Cape Cod can be very cold. It was 18 degrees this morning. I got up at 6 and set my watch alarm for a 20-minute morning meditation. But I must not have heard it. By the time I looked at my watch, 35 minutes had gone by. I am surprised I didn't know when 20 minutes was up.
I have a busy day today, including a meeting with Ruth, one of the aspirants in my order.

5 p.m.: The meeting with Ruth went very well. I think we both got a lot out of it.

Then, in the afternoon, I went to the first meeting of the five-person team our college put together for the National Coalition Building Institute, a national group trying to facilitate reconciliation understanding and peace between various groups. I am very exited to be a part of such a wonderful group. http://www.ncbi.org/
