Bliss + camping!

Our 'Sublime Summer Camping Trip of 2014'!

Pure bliss.

And, if the camping trip wasn't enough fun and nourishing and refreshing and rebalancing and insightful and inspiring and just simply beautiful & blissful, I spent the next 3 days after returning home on retreat (post camping retreat and pre Summer Retreat) with Ramana (Sri Ramana Maharshi)! Thanks to my SI joint that said, "rest and stay still". Ramana said the same. Being flat on my back for most of the 'retreat', I re-read 'Ramana Maharshi and the Path of Self-Knowledge.' Wow.

Deep love and gratitude to God, to the SI and to Sri Ramana.

And, of course, I'm so grateful to Tomas and to Mary & Mary.

(As well, a bow of gratitude to Gary Crowley from do-it-yourself-joint-pain-relief.com)

Nothing could have been more perfect.

“Nearly all mankind is more or less unhappy

because nearly all do not know the true Self.


Real happiness abides in Self-knowledge alone.


All else is fleeting.


To know one’s Self is to be blissful always.”

~ Sri Ramana Maharshi
