Starets Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 [quote name='Deus_te_Amat' timestamp='1311716622' post='2276377'] I posted this because my eight weeks in Cali are almost up, and I feel like I should have done so much more to witness this summer, but I've been afraid to step outside of "bounds". I also haven't gotten up the courage to tell my mother I'm going on retreat in January. [/quote] The way we live out our lives is also a "witness". Don't think that doesn't get noticed. But yes you do need to tell your mom about the retreat. *avuncular hug and forehead smooch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you tell her then, she can't freak out too much, because then she'd be putting both your lives in danger. That's how I told my mom about Roamin. And it was just before I dropped her off at work, so she couldn't even stay in the vehicle and freak out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azriel Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Remember, courage isn't defined by lack of fear. Courage is being afraid and doing it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
