We have been having a tough winter in the Midwest. A cold Polar Vortex turned everything into ice and on top of that there has been lots of snow. Last week I went to Iowa to give a concert and went through three separate snowstorms. It snowed on the day I was leaving. It snowed on the day of the concert–but still 20 people showed up for it, and it snowed on the day I was leaving Iowa.

Now, however, I am in India where the temperature ranges from 60 degrees in the morning to about 85 during the day. It is a welcome relief from the winter. I won’t be doing much music here in India because my Indian guitar just died! The bridge somehow started peeling off the main part of the body. I will be busy though meeting with other meditation teachers and doing lots of meditation.
