A glimpse of a perfect day

Thursday August 29, 2013
Long distracted, drifting, returning, drifting, returning, meditation
Friendly hellos
Quick easy banking, while a lady shows me the funny graphic on her phone
Elderly man praying with a mala
Good timing meeting a smiling Gobezie
Spontaneous inspiring meeting with a previously “door closed” project to plant trees and grow seeds
Warm greetings with good people
Bee boxes on the porch leading to blossoming project potential
Smiling at a young girl bring a beam of joy
Serendipitous buna with new University environment teacher, fun enlightened political discussion
Surprise package from Erik!
Friendly conversation with shimageles (elder men)
A kind offer from a stranger to carry my package results in meeting smart (English speaking) environment teacher at the Senetti elementary, more great future potential
Pearl, the calf, letting me stroke her neck
An afternoon of rainstorms drinking freshly hand roasted buna
Beeecoming a bee expert cozily by studying documents
Stomping in mud puddles with some kids in my 2 dollar Habasha plastic boots
Thoughts of how much I love being in Ethiopia as I walk down the street
Making the most kick ass pizza with garden spinach and cilantro (and cheese and salami!) that makes me utter expletives in delight
Skyping with Erik
Content gratuitous peaceful meditation
