Today was back to the normal schedule. After waking early for meditation, we
had breakfast. Today was focused on the mindful trainings. The monks have
fourteen mindfulness trainings, but the beginner's version was only five. Of
course, I was chosen to read the one on natural health. Or was it nutrition and
healing? Whatever it was, it just dumped on my entire way of life. Then we had
walking meditation where I walked with one of the monks who showed me how to
see nature. It was quite nice and I enjoyed walking with him. Sadly, I can't
remember his name. Something with an F (editor's note: it was Brother
"Fabio"). Then we went to the Happy Farms where I shoveled compost.
Now I am going to read Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" for American
Lit. So, good night.
Even though the trainings might have "dumped on your entire way of life," you can use it to help improve! It sounds like you are enjoying Happy Farms, and I hope you're taking lots of photos to share with us. Have a good night. -Faith
