Recently a contingent from Athens headed to Myrtle Beach for Silence Day. The Center was full, although it never seemed crowded.
Coming to the Center feels a bit like a homecoming. Every time. Walking into the Gateway, we were greeted by Judi with a hug and a "Jai Baba." No finer words could have been spoken.
There's something about the Center. Or Someone, I should say. The air is sweeter, the sun is brighter and the world is a kinder, gentler place.
There were so many beautiful moments while there. Music in the original kitchen. Listening to Brian sing "Save Me." (If you haven't heard it, it's worth a trip to his blog (ghamelayoga.blogspot.com)). SJ and her ukelele. Jeff singing "Welcome to My World." Sweet Annie -- need I say more? My daughter kneeling at the bed of her Beloved and whispering a sweet prayer. Bill and Diana. Nancy and Sam cooking up a storm.
The camaraderie, the stories, the love. It was a beautiful thing! Jai Baba.
