Major shifts will be taking place in my life in the weeks and months to come.

It's not that life hasn't already been utterly dynamic for me or that there haven't been any sort of drastic changes taking place before. It's just that this time I'm not talking normal major. I'm talking major major.

In the face of changes, what should one do? Change presents the impending danger of being sucked into the torrent of dynamism and being overwhelmed by the possibilities it presents.

To avoid that, sustained and extended contemplation is required.

I'll be spending the next few days within the confines of a monastery, away from the familiar kind of civilisation that can be quite abusive to the soul. For contemplation, absolute silence, and solitude.

Since I will be living the eremetic life for a while, all lines will be down. I cannot be contacted.
