Oh my goodness.
Only a short while ago I was pedaling hard against the wind, nay a euro in pocket, and only a tad of food left.
My computers and equipment were out of battery power, and I had spent several lonely nights in fields and forests. After a very long 80 km cycle, I made it to Gantikow.
For the last few days, I've been staying at the amazing castle/home/gallery/museum of Reihart Zabka. Reinhart, a quiet artist, has many friends. They have been visiting and I have been cooking and they have been cooking and we have all been eating fantastically.
Last night-- Universe be Praised in the Highest-- we went to the local spa and sauna.
Oh my goodness gracious me... warmth, heat! After so many cold and wet nights, I was able to re-warm my body right back to the core. Naked, sweating and HOT, I sat in the sauna in a state of bliss that even the Buddha would envy.
Today, I cooked up a distinctive Canadian Brunch for four new German friends here at the castle. The above is photo of the Mandalic Caprece Salad that I made-- I forgot to photograph the Salmon Eggs Benedict that I made. It was a decided hit. They have all headed back to Berlin, and coffee in hand I am catching up with 1Mandala work that requires focus and quiet and comfort.
Three new languages are on their way in and some amazing portraits are arriving. I am preparing now the systems for a new version of the Mandala. And... I am preparing to cycle on into the great city of Berlin!
Even hungry, battling the wind, there was a certain joy to it all. I am alive. And boy do I appreciate this coffe and that last meal. Life is joy.
