I haven't been public on social media for months, and here now is a long post on Passages about the state of my #pilgrimage:

I am not as averse to the socials as I used to be, especially since discovering the #fediverse. I have just been more inward-facing lately, making use of the conditions supportive of that at Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage.

As I enter the third leg of a nine-month 'gap year' between Bodhivana and SBS, I feel like #writing more. #dhamma

Happy #Saturday, y'all.
The @druid and moi have been on our annual #pilgrimage to #AshwoodNurseries.

The array of gorgeous things was fabulous as usual.

Paying to see John's garden gives you access to the hellebore display tunnel where there is far more to choose from than what is available in the garden centre for mere mortals.

The garden is only open on Saturdays.

You know what to do.

Clerics on crusade
towards indigenous folks,
met oft vile spirits

Behind the beaming nuns
