Heart of the World

Well ... began this blog in April 2005, with a journey to Peru and the Andes. Since then we've been to India, Nepal, Mexico, returned home to Nelson BC in Canada, and took off again for South America. It's now September 2009 and Jim and Carol are preparing to travel to Bali for two months. Terence will be staying home on Crystal Mountain in Nelson. Here are some reflections and photos of our travels through these sacred lands. To contact us, email: listenbreatheletgo@gmail.com

Preparing to Leave

It's a busy time on Bing Road as we countdown to taking off for South America. Lots of loose ends to be tied up, and making sure the house is ready for our house-sitter to take over when we head south on Saturday morning. Jim has been out cutting grass, we're having wood delivered for next winter, rebuilding the compost heap and taking down storm windows. Carol returned from Spokane yesterday - we had three guests visiting last week for a wonderful Mandala workshop in Nelson with Paul Heusenstamm. Take a look at his website: www.mandalas.com Paul visits us once or twice a year and we have a magical time painting mandalas together. Above are some of our most recent creations.
