Cleaning Up After the Storm

We recently witnessed several days of very strong wind blowing in from the south. The final night of it almost felt like hurricane speeds and brought down a few small trees and countless branches and leaves. A paper bark tree, which despite its name is actually quite heavy, fell on one of our Big Max structures. The monks use these small sheds for a variety of purposes and the one that was hit was our nail, screw and bolt supply. This made for a somewhat tedious clean up, as you can imagine. Monks from the Siddhidatta Kulam then removed the tree, cutting it up to be chipped and eventually used in the vegetable garden.

Yoginathaswami assesses the situation.
