Sacred Mountain Retreat (Woodstock)

What a full and fulfilling journey we had. From Long Island, to Chinatown, to Little Ferry, NJ; to Dutchess County and then Woodstock for the last few days of our New York sojourn. It couldn't have worked out more perfectly.

Atop one of the lush green mountains in Woodstock resides Bella, my spiritual teacher/mother.

It had been two years since we last saw Bella and enjoyed her grounded truth, loving Service and gentle but strong way of Being. The girls had vague memories of Bella but remembered the house and the land, which is sacred ground.

For the last few days, we rested, slept with the sound of rain overhead, visited with friends, bathed in the river and for me personally, Bella provided the jump my soul battery needed.  It was all perfect Divine Order (including the bear that came to eat out of the compost and the mama raccoon and her baby that Bella feds nightly!)

I don't think I will wait two more years to return.

Julia painted that beautiful picture of Meher Baba in the background. His presence is always present.
