Busy day 20190106

I finished the video fairly early and even managed to create this poster.  As usual I’d forgotten how to do it on GIMP and had to learn all over again!

I also had a visit from one of my mentees who seems to be doing very well indeed.  She looks much happier now she has moved into her new flat.

Still rather than moving 20190105

Found myself doing a lot of photos today which turned out to be a good thing as everyone now wants a poster about our sprouts. 

Went to Udavi School today with a group that are usually OK but today were rather bouncy and noisy.  The garden is starting to look really good as all the

Ups and downs 20190104

Had a wonderful yoga session yesterday where I learned lots of different postures I can do for my back. 

Feelings going like a roller coaster as I try to keep my balance in this evolving situation.  Thank goodness for the garden work which keeps my feet – literally – on the ground.

Ongoing 20190103

Decided to buy the new camera that Prabha was selling.  Its better than the original one I bought which I realise was one step up on my mobile phone!  This is one or even more steps up on my existing camera.  I took it out this morning but have obviously got a lot to learn about it.

I don’t want to be the land steward of Buddha Garden any more.  I think its time to pass it on to someone else. I’d rather make videos – or draw.

Process 20190102

I think today was the day when we started putting in motion various processes to try and resolve the situation we have here with Pierre.  There was a meeting to discuss a letter he had sent to the Farm Group and now I have to draft the reply.

It all feels so horrible and conflicting but I have got to face it somehow.  Maybe its something that has to happen to release something else in Buddha Garden.

A really nice thing that happened was that Arjunan and his family visited.  Arjunan was my Aurovilian assistant when I first started Buddha Garden in 2000.

New Year's day 20190101

Had a relatively restful day and got the chance to talk to Rajan which was nice.  This is a picture of all of us after we had been messing around together first thing in the morning.

In the afternoon I went to the Matrimandir and had a walk around the garden.  I felt a great weight on my head as I did so.  It was only as I left I realized the reason for it is that it is so open.  Its all grass and hardly any trees so the sun beats down mercilessly even when it is cool as it was today.

Relentless 20181231

After all the activity over the weekend with four people arriving to stay, this morning we got all of them to sit down and do their paperwork for registration. 

Busy day as usual although to help my back I decided that I would not do any grass cutting.  I think my back is slowly getting better.
