chopping vegetables for buddha?

cooked for the buddhists. loved it. my aunt essentially spent the week training me well enough that i could cook for a retreat entirely on my own. could make good money doing it… just need to get my name out there.

maybe i’m a buddhist. maybe not.

don’t know what to say. powerful, emotional, enlightening (pun?) week. beautiful people. beautiful landscape. thunderstorms.

feel more connected to my aunt than i ever have. she helped me put things into perspective. i handled her bossiness very well.

i was so happy and content and talking to ted sort of brought me down out of this spiritual revelry. he is stressed. sober. it’s hard for him. i don’t know what i’m getting myself into.

went to my sister’s for dinner tonight. wonderful. they are buying raw milk (non-pastuerized) which is illegal in montana. it’s delicious. they gave me a gallon of it, along with homemade yoghurt and butter. i want to learn how to do these things. they also gave me eggs from their chickens. i appreciate them very much. i like how they are living. i like their dreams for the future. i feel very connected to them.

woke up at 545 this morning to get to the airport. now it’s time for sleep.
