There Are Other Earths and Skies Than These
Day Retreat
Sunday 28th July 2024, 10am – 4.30pm
Led by Osadha
“They ask me why I live in the green mountains.
I smile and don’t reply; my heart’s at ease.
Peach blossoms flow downstream, leaving no trace —
And there are other earths and skies than these.”
The last line of this short poem by the 8th century Chinese hermit Li Po reveals to us a mind at peace and unfettered by worldly concerns. On this day retreat we will use this poem as a basis for an exploration of how the spiritual life unfolds, beginning right where we are and culminating in a radical vision of existence.
