Concurrent tours!

Wow, seems like no small coincidence that a group of monks, nuns, and lay people from the Community of Mindful Living (Thich Nhat Hanh) are taking a path similar to ours right now. Look, a similar name for their mission!

I'm still trying to get over the fact that I missed this when I was in the area, and not doing much of anything that weekend. Actually there were not one, but two "days of mindfulness" in Eugene. Bummer. I'm hoping to catch up with the tour when we roll into Portland on Monday. (FYI, my meditation practice began with Thich Nhat Hanh retreats in France and California. For a couple of years I practiced at the Mindfulness Practice Center of Fairfax.)
