Avoiding Mistakes The Conversation Elements From The Conversation ~ ❖ ~ Wise words from an old Hasidic poem: Take special care to guard your tongue before the morning prayer. Even greeting your fellow, we are told, can be harmful at that hour. A person who wakes up in the morning is like a new creation. Begin your day with unkind words, or even trivial matters — even though you may later turn to prayer, you have not been true to your Creation. All of your words each day are related to one another. All of them are rooted in the first words that you speak. ~ ❖ ~ Music The “deep river” feels like the current that carries you when you stop struggling. It’s not about change through effort, but through surrender to what really matters. As always, with our love. George & Matilda
The Restory is a Retreat Centre nestled against Tafelkop, a singular mountain head near Wakkerstroom, South Africa. Here we live a simple life as contemplatives. It is a place of re-connection: with ourselves, people, Nature, Silence and Creativity. Our retreats are aimed at this. Our conversations, writing and art centre around the univocity of life. We need a place that reminds us that we are all one. The Restory hopes to be such a place and space.
