In case you're wondering what this is, it is a photo of the top of the gau of Migyur Dorje. I took a series of photos of this area, as it has damage in need of repair.
It had been our plan to get back out and continue removing paint tomorrow, maybe with Norbu doing these repairs, but there was a meeting at the temple today where the need to send folks down to the Gulf Coast directly was discussed. Norbu, always willing to respond to the needs of beings, volunteered to go. He isn't abandoning the Stupas, rather embracing the needs of those suffering down south. He may leave as early as Wednesday, thus, we're not sure what tomorrow holds! No matter what happens, the Stupa renovation will continue, it may just have a day or two of regrouping while I figure out how to get it done with those willing to pitch in. There is much I can do myself, and weekends Gabriel and Lisa are willing to offer their devoted efforts. Who knows who else might show up willing to help carry through the last phases? I myself may be going to the Gulf Coast through work, and may rotate through for the temple as well. So it isn't an "either or" situation, but a negotiation of new waters. We'll find a way to get it all done! We've encountered increased demands before (remember when we realized we'd have to sand blast??), and we've persevered. So too will we find a way to ride this wave, rather than tumble in it!
