At Home in the Upper Valley

Spotted in Hawley MA

Says my kid after experiencing yet another bike accident.

But he’s ok. He got connected with a VR hand replacement, and is learning how to use it.

Well, maybe he’ll be better after this cast comes off

Wow, I finally saw ET. I’m a bit behind on my movie watching A funny thing happened while I was watching the film and taking photos as proof that I watched it. The face recognition on my digital camera did not pick up ET’s face.

I took a Miksang contemplative class at the Shambhala Center in Burlington VT and now can ’see’ things a bit more perceptively. Miksang photography sometimes feels like poetry which is difficult to describe as an activity, but fun and heart opening to do.

Can you see the woodpile in this photo? We have a problem now bringing wood in to heat the house. I hope that Spring comes soon.

This used to be the easiest way to walk to the woodpile. And now you barely know where it is!

I had the pleasure of attending an Insight Meditation retreat in early March with Arinna Weisman leading the retreat. She shares her teachings with loving kindness, compassion and humor. I highly recommend sitting with Arianna if you have the chance to do so.

This refreshing drink was a good way to end my visit to Devon Ave in Chicago.
