Message from Robin Mallery

The following message has been shared by our dear sibling Robin Mallery:

Dear Sangha,

We often express to one another our deep sense of gratitude for the presence we have in one another’s lives, for the solace we know in anticipation of and during our shared Sangha experience. I cherish our connection, our loving support of one another and of all living beings — knowing that such compassionate and intentional people share this collective life experience brings me comfort and hope.

My retirement life chapter begins in earnest come January, such that my ability to engage in Sangha practice will likely be limited during our road trips. As someone mentioned last week, when I cannot join you all “in person”, I sit quietly instead with a vision of our zoom squares as a placeholder in my heart. I will continue to do so as we travel, as I have every intention of continuing my practice.

If you would like to follow our adventures, as I write about my commitment to a low-waste lifestyle, plant-based eating on the road, and the best birding/flower hikes, please do so here: https://mallerymiles.com. I will surely sit in with you as I am able when we are home in between trips. In the meantime, please know how much you have come to mean to me, and my deep gratitude for my Sangha family.

Many blessings,
Robin

PS. When we visit Leaf in St. Catherine’s, we will make a pilgrimage to Kingston. It will be then that I will have the honor and pleasure of (finally) hugging you in person. While I am not sure when that will be, I will give plenty of notice so we can arrange for a gathering. xo
