I wish that there were some wonderful place

Called the land of Beginning Again,

Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches

And all of our poor exhausted grief

Could be dropped like a shabby old coat at the door,

And never put on again.

            by Louisa Fletcher

The good news is that there is such a place and we discover it as we practice mindfulness!   We learn to let go of the past and see the mirage-like nature of what we call “the future.”   Opening to the present reveals a world of new potential, where we can truly begin afresh, leaving behind our mistakes, our regrets, our disappointment and despair for the future.  In the light of mindfulness, every moment can be a release of the past, and a new beginning.   This can give us new courage and patience for these difficult times.  We will hear teachings on cultivating “beginners’ mind”, practice sitting and walking meditation, and have some time for discussion and inquiry.   Please join with the IMT sangha and freshen your perspective.
