I did make quota yesterday, hurray! And drummed, too. All on four hours of sleep the night before, after a wicked bout of insomnia. Then slept for another four hours, after drumming, and woke up early. I've been up for hours, and it's only 7:13am. I did get a little cleaning done, and my daily spiritual practice (which, if you were wondering, does not require a group).
So, one of my high pressure jobs is being on the Membership Team, of Twin Oaks, which is basically yet another committee (the whole place is run by committees, it's amazing). As part of our process of defining membership, (in explicit detail, if necessary), we have a long interview. And as part of that long interview, there is a long list of questions. And somewhere in the middle of that long list of questions, is the question, "Do you have a spiritual practice that requires a group?"
I always think of that question as the anti-guru security question. So, all you guru-wannabes: the correct answer to that question is, "No." In the long, long years of my time serving on the illustrious Community Membership Team, there has never ever been anyone who has said, "Yes." At this point, I sort of wish someone would say, "Yes."
And, glory be, I actually saw both of my children yesterday, as well as Keenan. It was a good day. And hey it snowed a tiny bit in the night! Like powdered sugar on brownies (ok, green brownies, with leaves under the sugar).
much love,
Kelpie

My comrades at Casa Robino are trying to convince men that Sharism is the next big religion.
