Hey all,

I love the metaphorical style of this article and it reminds me of something which i myself call 'zero input weekend'.

During the busy weekdays often there is no time to truly reflect on issues and attachments that are coming up, so when the universe allows i'll take friday to sunday just for myself to go as deep as possible into the 'desert' to find the missing pieces of soul. Most important here for me is to really have zero input from outside (alarm clock, music, books, internet,...), really nothing coming in, just dwelling in oneself. It takes a while to calm down but can reach levels that i would not be able to touch upon otherwise. It might even work better when including a fasting option, i'll discover that soon.

These desert tours for me need a lot of patience and discipline, but always there is something awesome and unexpected coming up (like a big karma three weeks ago). It's like a solitary weekend retreat.

Heartfelt greetings to you from Mali,

Thomas
