About 12:45 I heard the doorbell ring. It was Carl--the Buddist that does our trees. He wanted to know if we still wanted him to feed my special tree. I said yes. Luke agreed. Carl came in for a visit. He had ginger/honey tea and I had coffee. We talked about sadhana. It's always uplifting to talk with Carl. Carl is at home in nature, in a way that I'm not. He loves to camp out in the freezing cold. Sleeping on the ground. He described a night when I was happy to go from car to warm house. He spend the night in a tent, sleeping on the ground in a sleeping bag. He got up at 12 midnight to meditate and went deeply inside that amazing world.
While he was here, Mike came with his assistant. Mike told us the history of his experience. We were happy to hear about it. He does like to talk a lot. Mike is going to redo our kitchen, and help with the dim lights in my bathroom. I really like Dave, but he's away so much. My lights are so dim, and Dave is far away. I hope that this collaboration will transform our space.
I got two things done today that were on my mind. I found my voice and answered Betty's e-mail to me about our leaving St Luke's. I took the high road and didn't get specific. I also got a chance to contemplate our years at St Luke's, and to thank Betty for being such an amazing part of it all.
On a lesser note, I finished my two page letter to Ricky. He owes me $1,000. He took the money under false pretenses and he knows it. However he doesn't want to repay me. I know he's struggling financially but he should at least offer and to work out a payment plan. I told him that I'd sue. I won't. If he wants to be a thief, that's his problem. We'll see.
And by the time all that was done, it was time to make dinner.
