ah, the joys of sleeping in.  I did not roll out of bed until 9am and it was glorious.  It was one of those days where your dream carries you through the day.  I had such a lovely dream last night about being in love with a wonderful man and changing Emily’s future baby’s diaper.  Weird, I know, but the feeling of being in love overwhelmed me and stayed with me all day long. I thought about going on a hike this morning, but by the time I got up and ate breakfast there wasn’t much time before the girls were going to leave for the Ashram in Taos for lunch.  Apparently every Sunday this ashram provides a free delicious meal for the community and anyone who shows up.  Really good Indian food in an amazing atmosphere.  They have beautiful flower gardens and a shady landscape that provides for a comfortable lounging environment.  They also have peacocks roaming around which just ads to the allure. A few of us from the hostel went together and we attracted a few more people to join our conversation - interesting characters (ie one named Monkey who spoke very seriously on specific kinds of UFOs and aliens).  Ah yes, welcome to New Mexico.  We very eloquently and very quickly packed up and left.
We tried to bum around Taos but most stores were closed so we came home and called our dads for Fathers Day.  
I went to go tend to my cabbage beds for a short moment but my stomach was still aching from the Mexican food last night so I took it easy.  Some really great guests cooked us dinner from some zucchini they brought from their garden.  It was really good.  The evening wound down and someone started a fire that we gathered around and listened to a very talented girl play some music and I was taken aback that this is my life.  Standing in such a beautiful space, surrounded by beautiful people that were radiating love and knowing that tomorrow I get to wake up and and do it all over again.
I love my life.
