Yesterday during our free time in the morning, Meg and I decided to wander down to the garden. It's a funny place- very beautiful but very much in need of TLC. I won't get into the story regarding the current state of the garden, but in short it seems that it was once of central concern, and now lies unattended to as larger issues at MMC have arisen.
So Meg (a lovely, lovely person indeed) and I wandered down to retrieve some flowers for our respective rooms, and I, for some rhubarb so that I might make something yummy in the kitchen. We ended up with a lovely bouquet, an arm full of rhubarb and a single mystery fruit that resembled a hard fuzzy apple. When raw, the mystery fruit reminded me of unripe pear, apple, and squash. I cooked it with raw sugar and cinnamon and it became much more enjoyable.
So much joy to be found...
I have not been sleeping well the last couple of nights, which makes getting up for a 6:30am pranayama class challenging. I did however practice some asana last night when class was canceled, and I will be practicing again tonight. It seems as though all the residents of Forest View have been dreaming like mad- I have only had one night of odd dreams, but 4/8 people I spoke with this morning said they'd suffered from nightmares the night before. There's something going on in that place...
There is a lovely cafe here where espresso beverages, ice cream and various other yummies are available for a reasonable price. I'm trying to stay away... I need not spend the little money I have on such things, but I did indulge in a blackberry sorbet and a coconut water the other evening while witnessing that beautiful sunset.
I have the remainder of the afternoon off... I think I'll play a little Schubert, perhaps take a dip in the lake, and do a little reading.
How could I ask for more?
Namaste.
