Chapter 21. Ordination, New Hampshire, 2014

Good morning Beloved Reader,

Chapter 21 below completes Part One of THE BOOK!!!

Thank you for accompanying me on this braided narrative of two journeys, each of which contained profound spiritual gifts: one journey was through Jamie’s cancer — he faced his own death which changed the way he now lives his life; and the other one was through interfaith seminary where — perhaps in a less dramatic fashion — I learned perennial wisdom and spiritual principles which, nevertheless, also transformed how I live my life.

Please stay tuned for Part Two which braids two narrative threads about growing up: the story of a young Camilla growing up in Pittwater, Australia, in a home accessible only by water; and the story of Jamie’s and my early twenties where we practice adulting in New York City. All this before we get to Part Three of THE BOOK which includes the story of a Buddhist monastery taking root across the road here in Temple, New Hampshire.

Thank you for reading!💃🧚‍♀️…
