The essence of Kung Fu is to live a meaningful life. Do you look at each part of your life and see deep meaning?

We have only seen one bat in the last few days.   I see about 10 swallows,( that is really low).  A few bumble bees,  honey bees really low, native pollinators extremely low, hardly any yellow jackets, no wood wasps, a couple butterflies, a couple of dragonflies, and the frogs have been weirdly quite?

I needed to wait to train my forms last night till after sunset so that the temps got back down into the 80s before doing a big push. This morning I was out again at 8:00am before the sun heats this place up. Coming from the lush Willamette valley to Sacramento was a bit jarring. All the highway signs were blinking about the drought. The local lake is said to be 50 feet lower than the full level.…

This morning was a beautiful morning.   It started with the birds singing their morning song, a cup of root chai and the weather was beautiful.
