Standing in our brahmacharies

My novel YOGA BOOTCAMP describes the events of being initiated into brahmacharya and being given the two strips of cloth cut from the guru’s robe as our new underwear, supposedly to restrain our male sexual impulses. As a bit of real-life evidence, here we are at the Poconos Ashram in Pennsylvania in mid-1972. The girls found it highly amusing, especially since we were all living under celibacy.

At least I didn’t use the title of an old hymn here, “Blessed Be the Ties that Bind.”

The distinctive red bands around the West Quoddy Head lighthouse are to help it stand out in the fog and snow. It’s one of 63 still working in the state of Maine and is at the easternmost point in the United States.

Snow may be piling up outside, but the planning and seed ordering are done now. This is how it looked last year, with the catalog then. (Photo by Rachel Williams)

They’ll soon be arriving. We try to order early, since the coop sometimes runs out.

We let our bunnies run free on the first floor during the day. They love to explore, as Pepper is here, but they also love just hanging out in their favorite spots.
