"Tut-tut! It looks like RAIN!"

I took this shot during one of our rare afternoons without rain. As I type, the gutters overflow, the cat begs to come in, and the puddles grow larger, almost as big as the street in some cases. Yes, my friends, it is raining, still, again, whatever.

Yesterday was rain free until around 9PM at which time a most magnificent thunderstorm came through, with fancy bolts of lightening and hail. I was driving home from the western part of the state after spending a day at Earthstory with a ton of friends ending in a bonfire and stories. Several of the tribe are off soon on Big Adventures, most notably Keith Harmon Snow,(http://www.allthingspass.com/) who is off to Mongolia with his bicycle to do some investigative journalism around the issue of abandoned children in China. He will be staying at an orphanage with 150 rescued kids, who will be showing him the tunnels underground where more than 1,000 other orphans eek out an existence.

I partook of three workshops under the Big Tent yesterday, one on Non-violent Communication, also called Compassionate Communication, one on "The Work" by Byron Katie, which is a method of examining some of your own thought constructs, and one Intentional Breathwork workshop which lasted several hours. All of it was greatly balancing and healing and I thoroughly enjoyed being with my favorite people doing Deep Works. Truly KEEN STUFF!
