Shownotes

Easter Monday on the Welsh coast, nachos, fasting, rescued lambs, chants, and a pocket of seaside bhakti. A slow, joy-soaked wander with Mark and Maria, greeting the day, laughing at our own quirks, and bowing to the quiet presence that feeds the heart. Simple stories, small miracles, open hands. If this meets you where you are, breathe with us, chant a little, and carry the sweetness into your day.

it's called Porth dinlan

18

this beautiful little harbor here

19

:

this morning was cold and rainy

20

:

and uh what a glorious Easter Monday

21

:

we celebrate the rejuvenation rebirth reincarnation

22

:

resurrection of life and of Christ

23

:

in a beautiful setting

24

:

and to celebrate our ha ha

25

:

we have to share a little funny

26

:

we went to this little pub and uh

27

:

my God they had vegetarian chili and nachos

28

:

ha ha

29

:

and the container

30

:

which is actually propping up the phone right now

31

:

is like a tub

32

:

they brought it and I ordered that

33

:

she ordered the what did you order

34

:

you have the vegetarian chili

35

:

I had the normal vegetarian chili with

36

:

with Kaiser we taught the young Welsh pub guy the word

37

:

German word for cheese

38

:

uh you know

39

:

rennet free cheese and um

40

:

and my goodness what a way to celebrate the

41

:

after the fast that we had

42

:

yeah the end of the fast yeah

43

:

so we're very full

44

:

ha ha very

45

:

very full and actually in so many ways um

46

:

you know one of the benefits

47

:

there's so many benefits to

48

:

to fasting um

49

:

I'm trying to fast from using curse words this year

50

:

and I'm also trying to fast from saying um or ah

51

:

or like or

52

:

you know all these

53

:

or anyway or anyway and to be more articulate

54

:

but one of the reasons that we fast

55

:

is that it does help us relate more

56

:

in just a small way because we've chosen to be hungry

57

:

there are many people that aren't choosing to be hungry

58

:

and so it helps us in some small way

59

:

relate to people that are really hungry or thirsty

60

:

and of course

61

:

we're most hungry and thirsty for spiritual

62

:

uh food

63

:

spiritual mana

64

:

spiritual wisdom and inspiration

65

:

and divine nectar and ecstatic love for god

66

:

that's pretty yummy

67

:

back to the nachos

68

:

I mean there was sour cream

69

:

we just did some chanting

70

:

to some sheep that were stuck in your fence

71

:

yeah it's really nice

72

:

we came across these two little baby sheep

73

:

are they called ewes or who's

74

:

I don't know I have to look that up

75

:

sorry for any of the sheep people out there

76

:

well a lamb

77

:

I think is a is a grown lamb

78

:

there's a word for the little cute ones

79

:

they're quite sweet they're like

80

:

they come up to us they go

81

:

and they were they were lost and stuck

82

:

and they were separated from their mother

83

:

from fence there's a big busy road

84

:

so we stopped and made

85

:

another lady came and called the farmer

86

:

we waited with the sheep until the farmer came

87

:

to put them over the fence

88

:

we didn't wanna do it the wrong way in case

89

:

you know you could break a leg or something yeah

90

:

we're not experienced but the farmer just came

91

:

and he grabbed them by the scruff and threw them over

92

:

and they were fine but it was better he did it

93

:

they were his sheep so

94

:

but he was very thankful

95

:

and that was such a great way to start the day

96

:

we we circled Mount Snowden through the rain

97

:

we came out to this beautiful area called Porthdin Land

98

:

and um

99

:

we're in the pub having a great time celebrating our

100

:

our the end of Easter weekend

101

:

and this is the time to be joyous we

102

:

related to the suffering and now the miracle

103

:

I think about doubting Thomas a lot

104

:

how was your fast

105

:

strangely easy but I was very very dizzy and tired

106

:

I think I

107

:

I need to fast longer to really feel the energy kick in

108

:

like you do

109

:

but you're faster in many

110

:

many things so yeah

111

:

my my

112

:

my

113

:

my sort of jitteriness kicked in on Day 3 on Saturday

114

:

yeah or maybe it was Sunday

115

:

we were gonna go all the way to Monday

116

:

but yeah maybe we can do a seven day fast at some point

117

:

sure but not while on the road

118

:

it's really hard no

119

:

no we're driving

120

:

going places not medical advice or health advice

121

:

but

122

:

um it was a good start

123

:

there's something that I missed a lot

124

:

usually during a fast it's so nice to have a bathtub

125

:

where you can have an Epsom salt bath

126

:

hot bath yeah

127

:

and also to sweat

128

:

and I think what we would do

129

:

you need to be near a bathroom or toilet for this

130

:

but I would do a saltwater flush

131

:

cause I still had some stuff in me and my bowels

132

:

you know even day 3

133

:

and a saltwater flush you can look it up

134

:

it really helps clean you out

135

:

especially peanut butter

136

:

so you need to be near a good toilet for that

137

:

but it cleans you out prepares you for the

138

:

for the

139

:

you want as much emptying as possible

140

:

it's kind of like when we come before the Lord

141

:

we wanna be as empty as possible

142

:

receive his what he's by thy will

143

:

not mine what's he's

144

:

what he's ready to give us by Grace

145

:

yeah but I think I've passed away

146

:

my clinginess to my material stuff a bit

147

:

because you're lighter much lighter yeah

148

:

yeah I feel the joy

149

:

she's smiling again yeah

150

:

there was some wailing about the bed

151

:

oh and the couch

152

:

and the mattress and the mattress yeah

153

:

she's got a bad back so I understand

154

:

I'm not making fun of her

155

:

do you know um

156

:

as your body gets older it only gets tougher

157

:

yeah

158

:

but I'm glad she's I I know I will be fine yeah

159

:

you'll be super fine

160

:

keep to the straight and narrow

161

:

yeah

162

:

so we wanna say hello from Wales

163

:

beautiful Port Port in Layen

164

:

and sorry to all the Gaelic or Welsh speakers

165

:

if I'm butchering that beautiful

166

:

they have such beautiful names and words for things

167

:

super long

168

:

crazy looking words that are difficult for us

169

:

Anglos to Anglos Anglos Saxons

170

:

people speaking English to modern English

171

:

very difficult for us to pronounce

172

:

but boy do they sound wonderful

173

:

even the name for Mount Ston was like Eir Wistta

174

:

it just sounds more magical

175
