why I loved this Sunday

Lord Hanuman.

This Sunday I drove up to the Neem Karoli Baba Ashram

with my friend Megan, and Nina the Pug

and a large bag of assorted Halloween candy.

We made it the Sunday service and participated in the 11 Hanuman Chalisas,

and drank the best chai in the 505,

and took off our shoes and walked barefoot around the ashram.

I saw familiar faces, and chanted familiar words, and felt full and happy.

We ate a delicious Indian meal for lunch,

and Nina got angry for being locked in the car and ate half the bag of candy.

We walked to the plaza and window shopped,

and chatted as two girls can do all day, and still find things to talk about.

My aura stretches out and breathes when I'm out in the mountains.

I forget to worry about money, and a job, and a future, and what if? thoughts...

I feel more centered.

More peaceful.

Jai Jai Jai Hanuman.
