This morning we had a garden consultation, while sitting with our friends (landscaper and wife) on the patio enjoying coffee and treats.
I learned which plants need to go into the ground, which ones need fertilizing in the spring, how we could make our already beautiful view even better, and — yay! — I finally have the perfect location (and reason) to plant some jasmine.
This afternoon we took part in a lovely satsang at Chandi ashram house for the current crop of karma yogis.
Each person shared how they came onto the spiritual path, then we spent time chanting. It was quite the international group, as the karma yogis originally hail from Germany, Turkey, Russia, China, and India!
I came home in the early evening and — for the fourth day in a row — I practiced. It’s really quite remarkable, but I even downloaded a metronome app and used it as I did honest-to-goodness long tones.
I hardly recognize myself!
