Allow the vicissitudes of life smooth the hardness in your heart.
Finished reading: Fairy Tale by Stephen King. King’s writing kept me going, the story not always. 📚

My wife bought this Advent Calendar for the grandchildren. A draw for each day. She has dropped a couple of treats into each one.

November 2022 newsletter letter
Wednesday, November 30, 2022
November 2022 Hello and welcome to the November 2022 edition of my newsletter. I write this sitting outside at dusk. I look out on the shadows of the night, as lights from distant houses break the darkness. It’s still. Very still. The wind of last week, and that which helps to keep these islands cool, has blown itself out. I sit listening to the crickets, to a distant dog bark, occasional traffic on the nearby highway (a two lane road running the length of Maui’s north east shore).
Just follow the instruction

I’ve written about this before in relation to meditation, and it has been prominent in my mind again. As such I felt like reflecting on what the message is that accompanies this instruction at this time. Goals With any given meditation instruction I find it is very easy to imagine where I should be on the completion of such practice - that is if completion is a thing with regard to meditation.
My mother kept all the letters and cards that I sent to her from my travels over the years. Now she has passed them onto me.
Maybe there is a story in there?
A visitor this morning.
A misty evening.
Today has felt like a winter’s day in Britain. Constant drizzle, low hanging misty cloud, and now thunder. The only difference? Although there is a definite drop in temperature, winter has arrived here in Maui, I have been walking around in shorts and a t-shirt.
