Family Reunion at the Heart of AN
Last Wednesday we went to Ollantaytambo to pick up my eldest son and his family. This long awaited reunion was our first in nineteen years! We really enjoyed getting to know each other during our four and a half days together.
We visited the magnificent Inka ceremonial site of Moray and basked in the profound silence that is ever present there. We had delicious meals at several of our favorite restaurants. We visited the market in Pisac where they all found special treasures and enjoyed interacting with the local people. On the day they left, we all went to the Sunday Market at the sweet village of Chinchero at 3,800 meters or 12,343 ft. Here, we said our goodbyes while sitting on the grass in the upper plaza, right next to the Inka terraces.
What we loved most was the opportunity for them to feel the wondrous energies of the Heart of AN. They hadn’t seen stars for years and there was the vast Milky Way above us! They loved being out in nature, hearing the sounds of running water in our canals and the stillness from worldly clamor.
On their final full day here, they all wanted readings with the Cards of AN, which was quite a pleasant surprise! I was so happy to be able to share this with them. And each of them had such accurate, perfect readings!
Now Emanaku and I are back to work, putting together the eBook of my “11:11” book, writing a Surf Update, catching up with business matters. Eloy is planting new grass in the bald spots of our labyrinth and the animals are calming down from all the excitement of last week.
ALL IS WELL.
-
- Last Wednesday, my eldest son David and his super sweet family finally arrived! We met them in Ollantaytambo and showed them the house where we used to live.
-
- On Thursday, we all went to the magnificent Moray!
-
- The awesome Moray is one of my favorite places on the planet.
-
- There is always such a profound silence there and it feels as if Time has stopped.
-
- Here I am with my son and three grandchildren (Alex, Richard and Rebecca) whom I haven’t seen for nineteen years!
-
- And of course, we had to have a quiet night in front of the fire outside of AN•Wasi while Eloy and Juana shared their wondrous treasures for sale.
-
- On Alex’s birthday, she received a Peruvian birthday celebration and was thoroughly showered with pika pika by Juana and Eloy.
-
- One of the four carved gourd lamps with Sun-Moons which hang in the ramada outside of AN•Wasi. Emanaku and I found them in Tulum, Mexico a few years ago.
-
- Our Inka and Peruvian flags were up all last week in celebration of Dia de la Bandera (Flag Day).
-
- My granddaughter Alex was especially loved by Cachorro and Manzana.
-
- David and Richard in Pisac. Richard loves his new Peruvian hat!
-
- Last Friday, we visited the huge artesania market in Pisac. Everyone found hidden treasures and especially enjoyed interacting with the local vendors.
-
- My son David with his gorgeous new alpaca scarf from the Pisac Market.
-
- On Saturday, everyone wanted readings with the Cards of AN! Here’s Richard and his mother Donna in our AN Room. Plus Luna, of course, who loves to be present for card readings.
-
- David and I doing the Cards of AN together. Such a precious experience!
-
- Afterwards, it was time to remove the huge couch from Emanaku’s office.
-
- We had wanted to remove it for a long time since it took up too much space. Finally, we had enough people to do it.
-
- Eloy and Richard carried the sofa to the other side of the land. And now it has gone to live in the house of Juana’s parents!
-
- On Sunday morning as they prepared to leave the Heart of AN, Eloy gave a very eloquent farewell speech, thanking them for their visit.
-
- Next, we went to the very sweet Chinchero Market for last minute treasures.
-
- David’s wife Donna found an elegant new hat there!
-
- We said our farewells to my family at Chinchero and returned home to a magnificent view of Apu Sawasiray.
Happy belated birthday Solara.
How wonderful that your family came to see you and you had this reunion. Although I’ve followed you for over 10 years, I don’t remember your mentioning them. But, does it really matter all of those years apart when you finally came together in Now time?
Anyway, much love to you, and thank you for sharing your happenings.
Big hugs,
Leslie
