  3. The striking twin-towered brick façade of the Orthodox Monastery of the Annunciation in Supraśl, Poland — rebuilt after WWII destruction in a bold neo-Byzantine/fortress style, with its original 16th-century roots as a defensive monastery.

  5. THIS #MONASTERY HAS #NETFLIX 💎

    My life has become much simpler.

    I live with #Peter and the pups.

    There are fires to light, meals to eat, rooms to clean, bills to pay, bodies to care for, and all the ordinary things that come and go.

    Three times a day, I stop and practise.

    I sit down.

    I breathe.

    I return to the body and to stillness.

    More and more, the rest of my life takes its place around that.

    Not practice as preparation for something else.

    Practice as the whole of a life.

    I sometimes think of myself as a #monk living in the world.

    I have no robe, no formal vows, and no monastery.

    This one has Netflix, two small white dogs, and a man called Peter who thinks A Course in Miracles is woo-woo.

    But the direction is clear.

    I am no longer looking for another teacher, system, country, experience, or improved version of myself.

    I spent much of my life searching.

    I travelled, followed teachers, joined communities, read #books and looked for something that might finally explain me to myself.

    Now the search has become unnecessary.

    A Course in Miracles says that I did not create myself.

    If I did not create myself, I am not responsible for creation.

    I do not have to force #reality to behave according to my ideas or make the universe look the way I thought it should.

    I can stop trying to manage what I did not make.

    That is an enormous relief.

    “I need do nothing” no longer sounds passive.

    It sounds sane.

    It does not mean lying around while the roof collapses.

    It means I do not have to manufacture reality, defend an identity, or improve what God created.

    I can live the life in front of me.

    I can breathe, love Peter, rub the #pups’ backs, keep the fire going, and write what is true.

    Perhaps that is what overcoming the world means.

    Not defeating it or escaping it.

    Simply no longer asking it to provide what it cannot give.

    The world can still be funny, beautiful, irritating, tender, and absurd.

    But it is no longer home.

    Practice is home now.

    Breath is home.

    #Stillness is #home

    And this ordinary #life is enough.

  8. Guten Morgen allerseits 😀 👋

    Zum #SilentSunday heute die pittoreske Ruine des Klosters Eldena bei Greifswald, die bereits Caspar David Friedrich inspirierte. Die in Backsteingotik erbaute Abtei wurde um 1200 als 'Kloster Hilda' gegründet.

  13. The Kyiv Pechersk Lavra is in the news today, but not for cultural events. A massive Russian missile and drone #attack on #Kyiv has badly damaged the Dormition Cathedral in the Pechersk Lavra monastery complex, a Unesco world heritage site (see theguardian.com/world/2026/jun).

    Zum #SilentSunday heute ein schönes Fenster im früheren Querhaus der ottonischen Stiftskirche Walbeck in Sachsen-Anhalt. Das im romanischen Stil erbaute Kloster wurde im 10. Jahrhundert von den Walbecker Grafen gegründet.
