EDITOR'S NOTE

Our Spiritual Selves Thoughts and the Brain

The Wilderness Within, Reflection • I sit on a hillside overlooking an expansive estuary. My trusty old tent and I are hidden in a campsite that borders a bird sanctuary. My mattress is laid out and I am sleepy, but I have words to write. I am alone. On my headphones I listen to the lecture of a respected spiritual teacher and savour the eloquence of his words. There's a tension in the air as I battle with stilling my mind from the 1 000 distractions of the day. I try to wrestle my thoughts into submission so that I can be present in this moment. There's that knowledge that, unless I settle into my heart, I won't be able to write. My heart is sore from the loss of a great love and I am raw inside. That is sometimes the only place to write from.
