The beginning of this year coincided with a relocation -- a temple home was badly needed, for a long time! Funny thing is, it appeared when I had resigned myself to wait as long as it took. Then, boom. It was hard to believe, after having spent 10 of the last 20 years as a homeless disabled vet, when I read over and over in the Tao te Ching, that when you are "in" the tao, what you need flocks to you. Let this serve as living proof, if only to myself, that this is true. It all started / and ended?/ with meditation, with quieting my type A mind, meeting the lord of my own ego, and resolving the Great Matter in myself.
Our sanctuary and sound room are in repair, instruments are arriving, furniture is getting arranged. In the meantime, we had an equinox bath, and can't wait for the solar array to power evening lights and summer night sessions. In addition to sharing the teachings I receive, it is my hope to stream the sound creations on the Shekinah Gwaii YouTube channel. It has taken years, and now the vision is within reach! Farther down the timeline, a specially outfitted vehicle will take this shine on the road.
