A Magical Day

TODAY S. AND I DROVE UP TO KARMA TRIYANA DHARMACHAKRA (KTD) IN WOODSTOCK, NY. THE MONASTERY WAS CLOSED, SO WE TOOK A WALK DOWN THE "DHARMA PATH."

PAST A LITTLE PRACTICE SHELTER IN THE WOODS . . .

TO A BECKONING, MAGICAL POND AT THE END OF THE PATH. THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THE DAY, THE WEATHER, THE PALPABLE PEACEFUL QUALITY OF THIS LITTLE POND . . .

A LONE BULLFROG SINGING, SO MANY CARP, A LITTLE TURTLE POKING HIS HEAD OUT OF THE WATER, FLYCATCHERS SWOOPING DOWN - SKITTERING ACROSS THE POND'S SURFACE TO CATCH INSECTS. THE CLOUDS THREATENED, BUT THE SUN SHONE THROUGH. . . AND THE BREEZE WAS SO INVITING. AH. AH. AH.
