So much to do to birth the New at the Heart of AN! : The AN•visible

So much to do to birth the New at the Heart of AN!

Apr 17 2017 in Blog by Solara

We are in full on action mode here at the Heart of AN to get ready for May’s Special Events. At times, we have had up to thirteen people working on the new land. And there is still much more to do!

The new metal fence is in position. Roberto and his cousin are completing the rock walls underneath the fence. In a day or two, we will start painting the fence green so it won’t be so shiny looking. As soon as that is done, holes for our pink flowers will be dug at one meter intervals alongside the fence.

Pedro has finished planting grass around the future Tower of Light of AN and has now turned his attention to the rest of our land ~ watering flowers and cutting grass.

So much of what we are doing here happens in stages. If one part is delayed, then everything goes slower. German and his crew built the basic structure and roof of the gate to the acequia canal on our new land. On Wednesday, our metalworker will install the new wooden door and metal frame for it. Then on Friday, German will cover the cement pillars with beautiful river rocks.

Hopefully, sometime next week, we will be able to open up the old fence and merge our old and new lands together. Manzana and Cachorro will be super happy about this. And so will we as we know that there will be a huge influx of AN energy when this happens.

The energies for the Activation of the Tower of Light are being strongly felt here. And they feel stronger every day. We have a brilliant group of people coming here next month. We still have one more space available for the Cards of AN Master Class and four more spaces for the Activation. If you feel that you are meant to be a part of this, it’s not too late!

The Activation of the Tower of Light of AN

: The exquisite view of our neighbor’s fields and nearby Apus from the far edge of our new land!

: Elias and his crew unfold the new fence. It was so shockingly shiny that we quickly made plans to paint it green.

: View of the new public path outside the fence. This photo was taken before the fence was welded to the poles and before the rock walls were added to the base of the fence. It looks much better now!

: Roberto and his cousin are building a stone wall on both sides of the fence.  Remember the famous black radio of Justo? Here we have a modern version: “Lata de Musica” (Music out of a silver can. Giving a new meaning to the term, Canned Music.) The silver can is actually a very cool mp3 player!!

: A simple, small door to the public path is created in the new fence.

: One of Elias’ fence crew spray paints the fence posts. This is the same green color that we will use to paint the fence.

: The metal fence looks so much better when it has its stone base in position. After we paint the fence green, the next step will be to dig holes alongside it at one meter intervals so we can plant the pink flowers which will eventually cover it.

: A view of our new fence from the next door neighbor’s field.

: Early one morning, two truckloads full of rocks were delivered for the walls underneath our new fence. Since we don’t yet have the lands merged, they all needed to be transported by numerous wheelbarrow loads.

: Roberto and Pedro have finished planting grass in the area of the future Tower of Light of AN. Now, it just needs to grow!

: German and his crew build the iron framework for the new posts for the gate to the acequia, irrigation canal.

: Cement is then poured into the wooden frames of our new gate by German and his crew.

: The roof goes on and is covered by a layer of charizzo.

: Here’s our new gate so far. On Wednesday, our metalworker Danilo will install the wooden door in its green metal frame. Then on Friday, German will return to cover the cement with beautiful river rocks. Then next week, Roberto and his cousin can finish the rock wall on the base of the fence. After that, we can finally open up our old fence and merge the lands together!!

: Pedro’s very sweet son Percy visited us for a few days and helped take care of the dogs when the fence was open to the new land.

: Pedro, German and Roberto make a quick repair of our chainsaw. It’s so good to have German and Roberto working here again. We really like their energy and they love being here.  And after our extremely overworked, four year old wheelbarrows finally broke down beyond repair, here’s our new wheelbarrow, all pretty and blue!

: Last week was a good reminder that “Chaos precedes Birth”. Our beautiful new land suddenly felt so ugly. The shiny new fence was shocking and the land looked so barren. At times, there were thirteen people working here. I could barely go over there and see it in that state. Yet we held true to the vision of what is being born here and day by day, everything is emerging from the chaos. We know that it will be so beautiful when everything is done!

: Roberto carefully lines an irrigation canal onto the new land with hand picked stones.

: Here’s the wall section in the far corner of our new land with the irrigation canal that Roberto just finished. It already looks better!

: Manzana patiently waits on the leash again as wheelbarrows full of rocks are moved onto the new land.

: Here’s how everything looks so far. As you can see, there is still much to do before our Special Events in May.

: Standing on our new sacred land and gazing at Apu Sawasiray, I can feel the absolute perfection and Trueness of creating a Tower of Light of AN here.

: The Full Moon on the night of April 10th was amazing. A beautiful white Ganesha suddenly appeared in the sky with his trunk unfurled. What a blessing!

: Every few minutes, the sky would completely change and something deep and mysterious would emerge.

: A sea of clouds encircled the Full Moon, giving it a luminescent halo.

: This is a very special area at the Heart of AN between our house and where we park our car. We may build a small, raised pavillion here later this year so we will have a covered area where we can sit outside when it rains.
