John, Thank you very much for starting the blog. I found it hard to leave Omega and the Retreat. I rode home in silence and at a much slower pace then was usual for me. I don't remember much of the ride home. I was concerned that I was now on my own and it was up to me. I had called my wife the night before and asked that she not laugh at me or think what I was about to do, strange. The day after I arrived home I had decided to build an Alter. Over the next few weeks I acquired what I needed. I started meditation three times a day, morning, afternoon, and evening. I have continued and I've seen unbelievable results. I've had no angry outbursts or rage. I am learning to embrace my anger and go back to myself. Even my therapist said that this is really big. I am reading a lot of books related to Buddhism and have visited the only two Peace Pagodas in North America,both happen to be close to me. My hope is that all of you feel the peace within you that I am feeling. I am pleased to connect with you all,and look forward to reading your blogs.
