By the way, I’d be remiss if I didn’t at least MENTION the fact that the Hindu high holiday of Shiva Rathri is fast approaching – new moon is this Friday, the 7th. Life here at the ashram is 250% of what I said before about "program time" — it’s crowded, crazy, and with a schedule packed full of activities, processes, talks and whatnot.
As is common, we long-term ashram residents have been asked to take in guests, and the rest of the rooms are pretty full up, too. We’ve three ladies with us, all of whom are good friends. Two we knew from before in the Santa Cruz, CA area, and one we happened to host last year and got along so well, we keep requesting her. The apartment’s crowded but we get along very well.
Have to admit I myself am having not so much fun though. The migraines have been hitting pretty hard of late, and I’m fairly sure that some of it’s due to stresses and some’s due to pollen & dust in the air.
