Taking time off from the structure, guidance, support and just seeing what a trail can teach us was one way to revisit the program. The Manresa Spiritual Centre (MSC) at Pickering helps see different facets of Ontario life. October 2023 I did my third retreat at MSC. A mentor took me through the trails around MSC.

Last September (2022) he had introduced me to one of his mentors. On the second evening of the retreat, he admitted how he had got into spiritual recovery in the 1970s but then thought that he had “got it” and became complacent and caused lot of self harm, harm to his family and the after-effects of that phase still linger on.

               Flow was revealed in a unique way as he told me how the structure of a pillar can show the age of the house -around 100 years ago.

Gaps-Letter from Jasola

Anything that you have, you can lose; anything you are attached to, you can be separated from; anything you love can be taken away from you. Yet, if you have nothing to lose, you have nothing
