What I have been doing since I got back from Green Gulch? On Thursday I did not go anywhere or do much of anything because I was pretty tired after my two weeks as a guest student. It was nice to just have time to reacclimatize. On Friday I did some work then Emmy and…

It’s been a long time since I posted. I got back from 2 weeks at Green Gulch, a local Zen center, on Wednesday but haven’t been able to put together anything about it until today. I figured it was easiest to start with the schedule and details about my time there would emerge, so here…

I’ve been settling back in the last couple of days. I walked to Sausalito then went kayaking with my sister one day. Been working on my gap year guide and walking in the neighborhood – one day I checked out the local free little libraries and saw several had notes in them asking people to…

My last day at TAC was a quiet one. I walked the labyrinth once in the morning and again in the afternoon, the snow was rapidly melting, and every time I got out there, I could see more and more of the stones. I managed to walk most of the way up TAC Hill, the…

I realize it’s been over a week since I last posted. Time for a catch up! Rebekah and I got together quite a few times to talk about their upcoming board retreat and other matters. She had me make a couple of videos to use at that retreat as a way to get board members…

It’s always a push-pull to go out in the morning when it’s so cold. I love, love, love being out on the labyrinth as dawn slowly turns to sunrise – the mountains go pink and the sky lightens – but it’s very cold outside, as low as -12 on these mornings! To move from sitting…

What have I been doing the last couple of days? I took a gorgeous picture out my window of the moon and the clouds at 4:30 this morning. Later I had a beautiful labyrinth walk watching the moon set. I created dried flower bouquets with found items, made bookmarks, walked the labyrinth, made a snow…

Had another snowy day on Friday and then a windy one on Saturday resulting in drifts of snow everywhere.  We did manage to get the car down the driveway to get to the Buffalo Bill Center for the Arts where we had a tour of the art gallery with the preschool kids who were able…

Wednesday was a relatively quiet day. I had the interim executive director interview, which went pretty well. We will see if I get called back for a second interview with the board. It was a sunny but cold day, I got out for a couple of walks on the grounds, including doing the labyrinth twice,…
