... of meditation. "Yoga of awareness" is what I’ve heard it called and that sits well with me. It is amazing to sit at table and break bread with folks from Russia, Germany, Mexico, Singapore, Australia, the US and even Iran. Few have the opportunity that we’ve had over the past week.

Visit to San Damiano
We woke this morning to a cloudless blue sky over Assisi. Our breakfasts here at Hotel Ideale continue to amaze us. A huge range of fruit and cereal and freshly made cappucino. The persimmon is just delicious at the moment. It was the perfect day to walk to the little church at St Damiano, in which the ministry of St Francis really began. It is about 1.5 k outside the walls of old Assisi and it was here that Francis heard God's voice speak to him from ...
