"Night Vigil" - Decision Making Continued

Yesterday's post came from writings I did fifteen years ago when I was leading workshops on finding happiness.  I began cleaning out my computer of files no longer needed and ran across that one which seemed relevant following our retreat last Saturday….This morning, I'm celebrating a decision I made yesterday - to learn how to do a "night vigil."  Last evening I spent in the Yogatorium alone from sundown to sunup.  Yes, I did sleep some but also was awake many times and tuned in to listening for Spirit to speak.  I didn't get any specific words - but clearly a feeling of being in a special place and happy to be there.  Now when the weather warms up, I'll try one in the woods.  Or maybe in the hammock by the Pond.  Or maybe both…..Here is a photo looking east toward the sunrise this morning at 7:31.   It was interesting to notice how much light was in the sky long before the appointed sunrise time.  And even then, the sun could not be seen.
