being back at Rancho Margot

 being back at Rancho Margot, and it feels good....the energy of the rainforest seeps through the body and soul..................there is always a place which captures your heart, and feels like home...........how does one describe in words what the heart feels.........experiences can be labeled as amazing, profound, heavenly...........yet experience brings with it the notion that something has happened in the past and the mind is reliving it.........removing the "past" thoughts from the present moment, allows one to be in each moment.......in one of those moments, Jim is leading the chant.......we are sitting around him, participating in his chanting........the view from the porch where we are perched overlook the magnificent "magical mountain"....the rain was falling and at times it seemed that the trees, also swaying to the rhythm of the rain and the music and chanting...........we pick up on the sound of a bird singing, and there it is, the most beautiful bird......i feel a surrender, in me and near me........all of us in tune and in harmony.......
