Maybe it was something astrological. All I know is…today was perhaps the most communication-intensive day I’ve ever had!
I chatted with friends old and new over breakfast; conversed with Village friends at lunch; connected in the mid-afternoon with yet more friends; and spent time with new out-of-town friends during dinner.
Altogether I interacted with twelve different people: at a friend’s house off-property; at Master’s Market; in the Lahiri building kitchen; in the music office; and at The Expanding Light Retreat.
Topics included (among others) how we met our husbands; gardening; the importance of the arts at Ananda; whether or not to play the melody when chanting with harmonium; and strategies for growing the choir at an urban Ananda center.
Connecting with so many different people often feels overwhelming and draining, but today I managed to simply flow with it and had a lot of fun!
