What I'll always remember about Stillpoint

• Watching the sunrise in the mornings
• The brown hawk gliding gracefully in the fields
• Sitting under the meditation tree and watching the cows
• Horses in the fields trying to eat my blanket as I stoke them
• Buzz and the cats
• Fire in the living room and staring at it for hours
• People on the course: Anandi, Dorris, Debi, Malin, Scott, Jamey, Juan, Inke, Ariel, Takako, Timothy, Brigid and Kay
• Swami and David's teachings
• 3.30pm cakes baked by lovely Lawrence and just lovely Lawrence himself
• The hot tub, the conversations and the dancing in the water
• John's excitement "have you seen the moon?"
• Pennies dropping and moments of realisations, and the moments of cries
• The sunshine…bright and warm…always…
• All that food cooking and sharing, squeezing 3 people on 2 chairs with no elbow space
• Watching yoga movies and criticising the senior teachers' practises
• Dancing on the tables but we wont advertise this one widely as its not advised to get caught by Lucy on top of her furniture
• Practising together, as one body, one mind, one breath..and the dripping sweat
• Jamey's sarcasm and the fact that I never got them until much later, Inke's one liners, relationship talks with Dorris, words of encouragement from Scott, Takako's poems and stories, Tim's wisdom (he's an old soul for sure, the wisest 27 year old I know)…and so many many many memories…

Oh, this is a long list…I have far too many great memories here!

Love all my yogi friends and missing them greatlyJ
