East Meets West in Kentucky

 

Doorway from the indoor arena to the house. Pooja. 

Remarkable event to have at the farm. I was missing not going to India for the past two years because of the pandemic. The opportunity to have a Vedic Priest come from the Louisville Hindu Temple and bless the horses and the land arose. It was also an auspicious day, Guru Purnima. His father from India was visiting, his wife came, and a friend who is a priest. They loved having the 5 horses in the background which is symbolic of the 5 horses Krishna drove in a chariot.

 It feels like a new beginning. The farm is ready for the next step. Let's see what it is. The retired horses, retreats, gatherings, yoga, etc are all developing options. 

Ironically, I was never involved in the poojas in India. I would watch from afar. Fun to be a part of one here in Kentucky.

A Year Has Passed

 

Gracie and Sweet Pea

Incredible that a year has passed--almost to the day since the last blog. The basic farm is in order now. Fences repaired, painted, and a strand of electric added to prevent chewing on the fences. The indoor arena has footing. The base of the outdoor arena is set and ready for sand. Two labyrinths created. 5 horses in varying stages of life are living here: Nador, Lincoln, Harlan, Sweet Pea, and Gracie. 2 cats: Sofia and Corgi. Interior of the house is in order, but still very little furniture. All the borders of the fields and fences are cleared for walking and riding. Two big installations looming--fencing between the woods and the fields plus, four water troughs installed for rotational grazing. Forester assessed the woods and said it is unusual to walk into woods that haven't been logged for 60 years. He commented on my good fortune. Tractor and zero turn are the major work horses for keeping the place trimmed. Garden thriving. Time to start looking at the business and how to proceed. 

In the meantime, I am going to follow a new thread of learning about Devas, the vortex, and the energetics of being in a sacred space of such beauty and resonance. Someone suggested to start blogging about it as I learn and observe. A new chapter.
