Eight verses trail at LMB

At the Land of the Medicine Buddha retreat center, above Soquel CA (near Santa Cruz), there is a mile plus trail with eight little areas for contemplating the 8 Verses for Training the Mind.

Aside from the rotting wood around the lock, meaning I’m not leaving anything valuable in there when I’m not,Continue reading “Cabin at Grant Grove village, King’s Canyon Nat’l Park”

Driving to King’s Canyon N. P.

This is the first of several posts about my recent trip to California. I am surprised by how conservative the in-land agricultural areas of CA can be (after spending time in the dynamic Bay Area). Miles and miles of flat dry cultivated (? Good grief how much water must they import…) California inland a.k.a. CA’sContinue reading “Driving to King’s Canyon N. P.”
