Birthday at the Heart of AN!
I had a beautiful birthday here last Sunday. The energies were very expanded and peaceful. I was showered with pika pika by Eloy and Juana and presented with a magenta chuspa bag which Juana had specially made for me.
It was also the day of the Presidential election in Peru which is still too close to declare a winner. This meant that everyone in Peru had to return to the place where they were born to vote or else pay a fine.
On Monday, the plastic was put on the cover of our ecological lotus sewage system behind our house. On Tuesday morning, part of it was knocked down by the dogs, but quickly repaired.
Today we are going to Ollantaytambo to pick up my eldest son and his family who will be visiting us for five days. I haven’t seen David for nineteen years, so it’s very exciting for us to finally have a long overdue reunion. It’s their first trip to Peru and they are loving it here.
This week we will be taking them to some of our favorite places, as well as savoring the energies of the Heart of AN.
-
- The Sun rises over AN•Wasi in the early morning and creates some very interesting magenta lights.
-
- The energy of the Sun pours into the Heart of AN.
-
- Manzana and Cachorro having an afternoon rest in the shade.
-
- June 5th was the Presidental election in Peru. This means that alcohol wasn’t allowed to be sold for two days. In the supermarket in Cuzco the shelves full of wine were blocked off with tape that read “Dangerous Works, Men Working”.
-
- June 5th was also my birthday! Eloy and Juana came over and showered me with a generous portion of pika pika confetti.
-
- They also gifted me with a gorgeous handwoven chuspa bag with star patterns on it which Juana made specially for me.
-
- Emanaku also got splashed with pika pika, although not as much as I received.
-
- It was a beautiful beginning to my new birthday year, starting with the New Moon the night before and the Grand Solar Cross!
-
- My painting of “A Qua La • A Wa La ~ The Elohim of the Oceans and the Healer of Emotions” receives an overlay of dancing lights in the midday sun.
-
- Luna and Manzana still haven’t officially become friends, although they really like to be near each other and tend to follow each other around.
-
- On Monday, Eloy put plastic on the bamboo covers for our vetiver plants.
-
- Juana came to help Eloy. I really love how she always puts fresh flowers in her hat!
-
- The cover for the vetiver is looking good.
-
- The cover is almost done! Eloy and Juana are connecting the panels inside.
-
- View of the finished cover from upstairs!
-
- Oops! On Tuesday morning, the dogs discovered that it was lots of fun to crash through the cover!
-
- Tuesday was also El Dia de la Bandera or Flag Day! We were ready at the Heart of AN with both an Inka flag and a Peruvian one.
