Tuesday, July 12, 2016: Twists and turns.The other day, when I was in the nearby village of Little Switzerland, I shot this picture of an asphalt diamondback rattlesnake in the parking lot of the Little Switzerland Café. It is located at the top of a famous motorcycle ride up the mountain from Marion to Little Switzerland, Route 226A. I probably won't take the time to ride the rattlesnake this trip, but I have certainly had my fill of similar winding roads.
Tuesday morning after breakfast I
continued my Buddhist-Christian interfaith dialog with Emily from Asheville. We
sat on the swing outside the dining hall and talked for about an hour. We
talked about David Steindl-Rast. Thich Nhat Hanh, Thomas Merton, Pema Chodron,
our own callings, and poetry. It seemed an ideal fulfillment of I.D. Blumenthal’s
vision for Wildacres as a place for interfaith dialog.
