Back to the land

A cow and three goats

There are a variety of ways of connecting with nature and one’s natural surroundings.

Some dear friends are doing it by establishing a bit of a farmstead at their home near Ananda Village. They’ve got eight chickens, three goats, and one miniature cow.

I had heard about their small cow, but I had no idea just how truly tiny it is. It’s not much bigger than the goats!

Another friend went out in nature to play her guitar. The wonderful thing about where we live is that the nature she’s in is right outside our apartment (she lives in the group house upstairs).

This tickled my funny bone

We had an extremely productive meeting at Dharmadevi and Narayan’s home this morning.

First we greeted Kali (their little black dog); met the three goats; caught a glimpse of some of the chickens; and viewed the barn and farmyard area (the cow chose not to make an appearance).

Then we brainstormed a whole new level of collaboration between Crystal Clarity Publishers and the Ananda Music Ministry. It feels like we’re shifting into a glorious new age for the music and books of Ananda!

But the funniest moment for me came when I noticed something strange in the bedroom… 😂
