High Volume Santa Sabena, a sacred space, the deer come watch you meditate, the hummingbirds show little fear, heavenly abode on planet earth. A site of many a retreat a place very much empowered, wonderful ally and advantage right in downtown San Rafael. Every sound echoes louder, silence it the master here, all sensitivity is enhanced such that the stirrings of mind and the arrival of discursive pulses, seem totally out of place, like a loudspeaker in a cemetary, almost embarrassing somehow. But the loudness is an advantage - what can be seen can be let go of, undercurrents of karma are bared exposed to the light of Awareness in the atmosphere of potent quietude. May 26, 2001 (1 of 2)
