My time here is quickly coming to a close. I have no rhythm because my schedule changes all the time but I have been meditating every few days, riding my bike and sometimes doing yoga, learning tarot and doing a lot of reading.
I had a good time a week ago during ecstatic chant. I was really sick with a sinus infection (a result of the hurricane wetness and being out of my tent for two days) while also opening guest services every day at 7 am, but I would try and stay up til 11 or 12 each night and listen to the chanting. My two faves, Krishna Das and Jai Uttal were here. Hearing and seeing Jai live up close was such a thrill! I am going to make chanting (bhatki yoga) part of my regular practice.
I also had a lovely night this week at my managers place. A little cottage connected to a small goat and sheep farm in Red Hook, NY. Unfortunately I didn't get to visit the animals but I did get to play with the adorable dog , Ferris. We made four different apple pies, drank and talked, and successfully warded off viscious mosquitoes.
Finally! Here are some short videos of part of the grounds and a groundhog!
