Summer Time

Well it has been a while again since I have posted. Lots of new things happening in my life I can barely keep my head on straight. I just moved out of the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas and into a mountain hermitage about 10 minutes away. It is an amazing little place in the woods, such cheap rent too, well I guess with no electricity and little running water they cant charge much. But that is exactly what I want. No frills. Well a couple frills, but not too many :-) I also have a new car, 1999 Honda CRV. Its really nice being able to go where I need to. But gas is ridiculous.

Its funny too because this summer i wont even be able to live in the cabin. I moved in but I am off to Phoenix for a summer apprenticeship with a translator and Tai Ji Quan master. Really amazing opportunity, I am very excited about. Then I start school in late august here in Mendocino Community College, and next semester is also my last at Dharma Realm Buddhist University. Lots of things are changing for me, I am moving into a whole new phase of my life. Hopefully it will be as interesting as my last 3 years in the temple have been.

Take care. In everything you do.

Peace.
