Mindful in Manhattan

So, tomorrow I'm going to do an all-day mindfulness retreat with Thich Nhat Hanh, my most favorite Zen Buddhist ever. I have heard him speak in LA, and did a week-long, silent meditation retreat with him in Santa Barbara (talk about - no pun intended! - meeting yourself, just be silent for a week), and am so thrilled I get to do a mini-version of that tomorrow. At the retreat in Santa Barbara, we did our mindful walking meditation on the beach; tomorrow's will be on the streets of the Upper West Side - closed to traffic, of course! ;) So I guess the roar of the ocean will be replaced with the roar of traffic on Broadway.
