Another day in Wettenbostel! The cool not yet spring air of April is invigorating as I find my way back to the little room where lately I have called my home. I just finished eating a little dinner and enjoying the company of our visiting Canadians. During dinner we were doused and periodically entertained by the injected energy of our host, Michael. We are now complete with four residents here at the Seminar Haus with the return of Dan, porch companion, Reiki Master from Oregon and long-time resident here in Wettenbostel.
It is Friday the 13th and I wonder if that accounts for some of the strangeness of the day. There is a new dynamic and energy here in Wettenbostel with our shifted collection of folks and my hosts returning from their week-long escape to Austria. I’m noticing new ebbs and flows which sometimes have me feeling a little dizzy and sometimes feeling a little lost or left out in the cold.
Our new visiting Canadians are a young couple who have been traveling around Europe since September of 2011. They found their way to the Seminar Haus through the on-line web-site helpx.net, a resource for work exchange for travelers. They arrived at the Seminar Haus in the midst of kitchen chaos during the week-long Aikido workshop. They seem to be doing a good job so far of riding the Wettenbostel wave… where you never know what will happen next. Both are friendly, with big hearts and loving kindness.
The sun is starting to set on this Friday the 13th and I have to say I am glad for this day to wean away. It has been filled with a mixture of emotions that I am ready to tuck into bed into the comfort of a good night sleep. All is well in the land of Wettenbostel. Things are shifting on the inside and out. Somethings are clear. Some things are uncertain. And a new cast of characters assembled for now… falling asleep underneath the Wettenbostel moon on this night, Friday the 13th.
