Labor Day Weekend at the Christine Center

I had another mystical stay at the Christine Center over Labor Day weekend. The weather was gorgeous and the silence was penetrating. I watched grasshoppers get it on, saw a doe nurse her fawn right outside my cabin window, observed turtles eating algae in a pond, witnessed a daddy long legs wrestling match, and narrowly missed being hit by a tree spontaneously falling in the forest while I watched two pileated woodpeckers on adjacent trees. I also had plenty of time for yoga, meditation, reading, guitar-playing, painting, walks and photography. Man, do I love it there.
