Gosh the sun is exquisite today! I am trying to shift gear and get ready for bad news about hubby's work for a while. I am finding inspiration and strenght in today's teaching online at sati saraniya hermitage in Ontario. Coffee is being made and the sun invigorates life everywhere today. 

I hear the dryer going and I have finished both the songs of the bardo cd playing and the teachings from the nunnery. I am still reading Tenzin Palmo's life. Her dedication and endurance is remarkable. It was a strong ideal to me when I was in my twenties, and everytime I went hiking or snowshoeing alone for a few weeks, I would live very ascetically. But my health is very bad and my back is broken. So no more hiking for me. Since then, everything changed in my lifestyle.
