I am really going this time

I am going to Vipassana tommorrow for reals this time. I found another place though. I think it will be a lot better. It is really close to the Annapurna Mountain range of the Himalayas where I first went trekking. I think it is right on a lake. It will be better because the air will be clean, it is absolutely gorgeous in the Pokhara area and it will be really quiet. The first one I was going to ended up being just right out of the city limits. Not the ideal place to be silent for 10 days. It should be really, really good. I am looking forward to it. It takes about 6 hours to get there on a local bus so I am taking off Jan. 31st. The silent prison starts the 1st and lasts until the 12th. I may stay in Pohkara for a few days afterwards as I know a kid going to college there. We will see? I also have some other things cooking when I get done, but nothing is set yet so I will let you know when things materialize. So wish me luck and hopefully I have the balls to complete it. It’s exciting though because it is so different. If I do decide to become a Jogi after that, grow a huge beard, (even though my beard would consist of a lot of blond long patchy spots) leave all my worldly possessions behind, make a little hut up in the Himalayas somewhere with the Yaks and the temples I’ll send an email first and give my location :-).

I’ll give the Monks a big shout out from Montana!!
