Four months on, my hands are much improved and I can type and write again (if a little more carefully!) but I've definitely gained a lot from that time and I'm still using some of the different ways I did things out of necessity then. Thanks for posting, David.

And I suspect the meditation people are probably quite accepting of however you take your retreat!

I personally am messy and slow with my process. I don't know if a dictation device would be helpful, but it is worth exploring.

I haven't had an injury or condition that has affected the way I write but I did one compose a picture book text at a silent meditation retreat! We weren't supposed to talk or read or write so I couldn't use pen or paper or say the words out loud. I found it helpful to pace around the gardens as I re-worded and restructured the verses in my head. I think it helped with the rhythm too. As you might have guessed, I wasn't exactly the ideal meditation student... but I do still know that story by heart!Lucy Rowlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06287658044786683327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-31404371198626362272017-07-11T11:05:08.912+01:002017-07-11T11:05:08.912+01:00I've tried writing with my left hand (I'm ...I've tried writing with my left hand (I'm right-handed) in order to remind myself quite how much concentration the act of writing takes when you are a beginner at it, i.e. what young children experience.
