time up

Can I write a meaningful and or witty post in the next 6 minutes, before lunch is served? Did I miss important signals telling me my time was up here? Am I really exactly where I need to be in this moment? Am I learning what I need to be learning or repeating patterns? Is there really a perfect community out there for me? Is consensus the best way to make decisions? Why do I always feel like I am running out of time?

a strawberry hunt

Instead of writing my resume, making birthday invitations, or cleaning my room, I decided to take Ama on a berry hunt. R said that he found the first wild berries of the season, so I had to see for myself. I knew where a few big patches were...we headed in that direction. We stopped along the way to look at the tadpoles in the pond. I saw lots of strawberry plants, but had the hardest time finding berries. Finally... the big patch in the sun... we found a few tiny berries!

1 year

June 2, I celebrated being at LV for 1 year. As far as I know, there was almost an appreciation circle for me. I'm glad someone thought about doing that. I guess there wasnt enough time though. I have been wanting appreciations for awhile. I've asked. I guess I am being tested ... I need to pass the test of asking while remaining unattached to the outcome. Yes, I know I need to appreciate myself...and...it is nice to be loved and needed and wanted by the people around me.
I am taking some advice I got about appreciating the people around me. And dropping my ego even more... I dont think I can have much less ego than I do anyway.
