Day 109: Bake
Sometimes as I’m writing these entries, I find myself wondering: how is this making my life simpler? Like now, for instance. It’s well after midnight, and I am waiting for an Easter pie to finish baking. No, not the kind … Continue reading
Day 108: Observe

Day 107: Reconnect

I’m not sure I would go as far as saying that I’m in the bardo right now, but as the days go on, I am certainly feeling more and more like I am between two worlds. Today, we visited the … Continue reading
Day 100: Align
