Restoring the Soul

Lovely meditation session this morning on the deck.  Surrounded by beautiful trees and the lack of barking.  Miraculously, the neighbor's dog did stop barking long enough for me to do my meditation.  I've finally figured out what is happening.  Each time anyone comes out of my house, the Yogatorium, or the cabin, she and or he bark. At times, like the last week or so, every time I go out about 6:30 to meditate, the barking starts and doesn't stop.  Not conducive to comfortable meditation.  Surely this too shall end. …….Workshop in Atlanta this weekend (Friday and Saturday) was very helpful.  Beautiful fire ceremony Friday evening from 7 to 11.  Lovely blue and yellow flames among the other red colors.    I saw lots of interesting images in the fire - most interesting was the Grinch!  with a big smile on his face.  Met  interesting people - many therapists - investigating "depth psychology" and shamanism and how they intertwine.  Very interesting considering the blending of the two.  The event was a beautiful way of restoring my mental energy and my soul.  Being with 39 other truth seekers (my name for us) was truly inspiring.  Thanks be to God!
