 Most of my life I’ve believed that love is something you have to earn. Thinking I was making myself lovable, I turned into the reliable, responsible one. I was “the one who works so hard.” For a while, it felt like it was working. Friends, family, and employers often praised and respected me for my strong work ethic. Nice. Or was it?

 I have been studying and retreating with Doug and Catherine Sensei for 17 years. And for as long as Clear Sky has existed, I have been going there to do retreats pretty much every year. To surrender to the moment, watching my breath for days on end: heaven! This year, back in late March and despite the COVID situation, I managed to get a flight to Clear Sky to start a month-long solitary retreat. Given the pandemic situation, you can imagine that Clear Sky felt like an oasis in the middle of a desert.
