The Bird is the Word!
Added 2022-05-11 09:06:24 +0000 UTCThe Egret from today’s episode (#327), photographed by Momma! When I stepped outside, she slowly flew off in the direction that she’s looking in. Toward the beach. Toward the mantra. And then I sat down in that chair to Hear and enjoy the exquisite synchronicity of it all.
My birthday is tomorrow and I’m feeling better and better every day!
I Love you!

p.s. the classic clip from whence this title came 😂
Oh, and the Go(o)d friend that told me about the celebration? She approached me at the park near the beach last September. That day, a Saturday around 5pm, I felt compelled to take the kids to the park. Only we never leave the house that late, and we never go to that park because the floor is worse than lava… it’s sand lol. But something was pulling me so off we went… kids excited about the spontaneity, and me with mala in hand as that day, I was attempting to increase my count from 16 to 64 rounds lol.
We arrive and Max (4 years old at the time) makes a friend instantly. I watch from a distance when I’m approached by the girl’s mom. “Are you with us?” She asked me, eyeing my mala. ‘No… 👀 we aren’t with anyone. Who are you here with?” And as I asked the question, something in me knew. I smiled. She explained that they (they call themselves the Hare Krishnas) were in town for a Rath Yatra celebration on the beach. It only happens twice a year and I had arrived just as it ended. They sang Hare Krishna all day! 😮 I shared my story with her about how tho I’m not a Hare Krishna and had only heard of their movement recently, I chant the mantra daily, and a lot of rounds. We talked until the kids were begging us to leave lol and exchanged IG info. We may have messaged once or twice in that interim (since last Sept) before she messaged to inform me about last Saturday! Crazy. This life. ❤️
