Now that we're down to one week before we hit the road again, plenty of our day-to-day stuff will be "the last time this trip." Today, Joan and I went to Mark and Cindy's house. After lunch (thanks, Cindy - it was tasty!), we visited for a bit, then went into "Junior High Dance mode": the boys went one way, the girls went the other. Joan and Cindy made a trip to a fabric store... which turned out to be more recon than retail. Mark and I went into his studio and put some finishing touches on the music video we recently completed, worked on another new song, then made some music. It was a good afternoon.
Cindy made a beautiful bead mala for Joan. "What's a mala?" Thanks for asking - it is a string of 108 beads used in meditation to focus the mind (Cindy is a yoga instructor). The tassel on a mala is a representation of a lotus flower. The guru bead (starting and ending point for meditation/prayer) on this necklace is... a mermaid. Cindy knows our connection to the water. She wrote: "You mala is Jade, which is a good luck stone, bringing prosperity, deep wisdom, compassion, peace, and balance." Lovely...
Second to last? One more get-together next week with Mark and his friends to make some music.
