A trip to Northfield
I took an “extended weekend” trip to visit friends in the Twin Cities and in Northfield, MN this week, and as it’s winding down, I’ve been having a wonderful time. Reuniting with my friends, Rose Ann and Gene has been wonderful. Since moving to Duluth in September, I’d not come back to really spend any significant “visiting time” really. I’d just passed through.
I went to the monthly Dream Group, and had a wonderful time just listening to others nighttime dreams, and got some wonderful insights to a dream I had some months ago (I’ll have to share my drawing and reflection sometime!). I also got a chance to revisit the Northfield Buddhist Meditation Center, and I “got through” a half-hour sitting meditation (I’m out of practice). I got to see some old faces at Just Food Co-op, have some hangout time at Goodbye Blue Monday, and just catch up with dear friends.
I also learned that The Village is going strong, meeting on Wednesdays, and that The Center for Sustainable Living is now embarking on a “Transition Towns” initiative. Lots of good things!
All in all, a wonderful visit!
