We went on a 24 hour silent & fasting retreat to Whitby. There were many of us there and many great things happened.
The most vivid memory I have is in 2 parts.
Firstly I was on my own at the foot of the cliffs looking out to sea and the vastness of the ocean. Blown away by all the elements combining and how small I felt.
Secondly, what appeared as if from nowhere, was Dan. We stood side by side for a while. In silence of course.
Then it was if the elements beckoned us. We both looked at each other, stripped down to our boxer shorts, grab each other by the hand and ran into the ocean skipping and dancing as we went.
I have been back to Whitby numerous times over the years and always remember that as one of the precious times.
I was sadly unable to be there in person at todays funeral. So In honour of Dan and in love I have been out at the stroke of midnight and in silence. Had a naked swim and thought about how grateful I am for you Dan.
Thank you for how you've have changed me x
much love
James
