Exploded indeed! I wanted to start easy, with only a five day one before I ever consider plunging into the deep vipassana end... one must have some balls for that I believe.. so if it calls you, go for it!!!

I forget, I remember
I trust, I surrender...

Thanks for passing by, this is Part II where I write about this very explosion you mentioned...
