By Debra Basham, on August 16, 2020 I am technically practicing silence in a meditation retreat at Heartwood Refuge and Retreat Center in Hendersonville, North Carolina. But I am attending via Zoom and my fingers are on the keyboard. The focus of this retreat with John Orr is When Everything Falls Apart, What Remains? This was John’s blurb about the retreat:

Last week I heard again the message from Aaron, “If you were not ready, you would not have taken birth at this time…. You did not come to fail…. Are ready to trust your heritage […]
By Debra Basham, on April 25, 2020 WORD FOR THE DAY
We did not ask for this room or this music; we were invited in.
Therefore, because the dark surrounds us, let us turn our faces toward the light.
Let us endure hardship to be grateful for plenty…
We did not ask for this room or this music.
But […]
By Debra Basham, on April 23, 2020 Up way before the first bird sings a song of the light soon coming, I wonder if it is breaking the noble silence to have my fingers on the keyboard writing to you while I am still on retreat. The lines are blurry at this retreat. It is being held on ZOOM and people are […]
By Debra Basham, on April 17, 2020 April…. So unstable.
Spring snow showers visit again.
Mourning doves puff up as they sit on the white-blanketed ground.
Hunkered down, they seem to know this is not a time to search.
The sun and warmth will return. Most likely, sooner rather than later.
Another friend hospitalized with the virus. […]

Preparations for our safe travels back to Michigan from our Pine Island Paradise are underway here—packing, deep cleaning, blessing…. this season is like none other. For the first time EVER, we will not visit with our […]
By Debra Basham, on March 30, 2020 Sunday, March 29, 2020 was the second (and last) day of the Deep Spring Meditation Center virtual retreat with Barbara Brodsky, Aaron, and John Orr. In the afternoon, I went to Galt Nature Preserve for my walking meditation.
This is the latest/driest I have been here in Southwest Florida. The flora I am familiar […]
By Debra Basham, on March 29, 2020 Life is totally interrupted by this COVID-19 mandated safe sheltering/social distancing/self-quarantine. I chose to “attend” a two-day meditation retreat with about 80 others virtually. This virtual Deep Spring Meditation Center retreat with Barbara Brodsky, Aaron, and John Orr is a first…. but, just about everything in the current conditions is UNPRECEDENTED.
During the Q&A […]
By Debra Basham, on June 8, 2019 I love color, and I am also fascinated by shapes. In my next life I might like to study sacred geometry. This image came up when I searched “What color does blue and red make?”
My question about what color you get by mixing red and blue resulted from a recent post-puzzling conversation […]
By Debra Basham, on May 28, 2019 I am just back from a retreat/intensive with the Deep Spring Dharma Path group. This group is a two-year commitment to daily practice, weekly meetings, and twice-yearly intensives. I said this morning I have not yet found my feet, but I know where I left them, and I assume they are still there waiting for […]
