Metta retreat at IMS

Another two day retreat at IMS. One year after the previous retreat. This time the retreat was a metta retreat. It was much more difficult intellectually because you have to keep bringing up the same thoughts instead of just letting go of thoughts. It seemed to start out better than the last year, but eventually it got to be emotionally exhausting. I do feel this retreat had more of a lingering effect. I.e., I think the metta practice will be more likely to carry into my daily life.
