The helpful recent graduate of chiropractic school needs a little bit more experience with old necks. I have slightly less range to my left and can feel it pull on the right. Fortunately, I have become adept with the rear-view mirrors and had no problem zipping around yesterday. I thought of Cedar on her adventure to Laos with govt employee Bonnie's nice pillow. She was reluctant to take it since she has her pack with yoga mat, day pack and small personal bag in perfect order to be self contained. I miss her more than she can imagine since the new tenant in her room smokes and the when the window is open and the fan on....I am in 2ndary smoke...so no window open. Computer, Camera with extra lens, flash, tripod, and phone makes small travel much harder. The big wt is the warm clothing and now a few extra books and a big bag. I have thought of packing and I will put my plane stuff and clothes in the big bag, electronics in the backpack and the rest in the duffel. I have some plans for my last week...another long massage with Pat on Wed and a trip to the immigration on Thursday and another week of chi hung and my morning routine of tea and toast, class, good breakfast, late shower and go. Yesterday was the National Museum out on the superhighway and I stopped at a Chinese cemetery and of course my last night market. I get the bends when it get crowded and the time to shop is early. I could not find the buffalo hide artist..but so what.. picked up some beer and watched a little TV while I organized for the morning. There is a nice routine here and when n it is not in order and flowing, I feel like I have let myself down and put myself in the wind. I realize more and more how I must treat myself like a fragile child and not react for everyone else but do whatever necessary not to “suffer” and that appears to keep my ego in check...spend more time alone with my life.. Here I have found many people who get the big picture, respect life, and are leading examined lives. I know there are some at home maybe not in my current circle.., but where they are will be my next quest. ... I am excited to clean up my stuff at home and get down to the very minimal amount. Next year I will assess a longer trip with more countries..... might even do the three weeks in India if the mediation process feels like it is for me...I have a little more dental work to do...three more teeth on the top right which then allow for a correct bridge...we shall see. I also need to know that I can only come if I am leaving for an adventure and not just leaving because I am sick of the smallness. It is soooooo easy for me to get sucked into stuff that hardly matters. This week has been a hard but good lesson... off to class....
