Things are happening at Govindas Farm. Although I do admit that as a small tribe we have been having a bit of a hard time getting used to our new member. I think that is normal as with all creatures. For instance when we introduce a new cow to the herd, we don't put her directly into the same field. We are mindful that the herd has a hierarchy and we respect that. We first put the cow in an adjacent pasture for a few days. The cows see her and they all come over to inspect her...they bow their heads ..up and down...up and down...up and down. Perhaps a half hour goes by and everyone starts to graze right beside the fence. It's almost like the herd is saying..."Yes...you may become one of us...but ..right now we still want to see if we like you."
Of course cows are very kind and accommodating so by day two they are all eating together. Sometimes they even allow the new herd member to be "The Boss" for the day. In the end Mukta gently takes back her "crown" in a very sweet and polite way. The newest member now feels as though she belongs and is quite happy to follow behind her benevolent leader.
Although we are individuals...we all love healthy,organic fruit and veggies. Natha das loves to make green smoothies and I love to make all kinds of fruit and veggie juices...so together we are all getting very healthy mentally,physically,emotionally and spiritually.
Until next time,
