Walking Sunday

Making Merit

the man making merit who had tea with me 

It is Sunday in Chaingmai..and that means Sunday walking market and tons of people and stuff and money exchanging... Did I shop... a little..I bought a pair of pants..but unusual for me...I put out big money and bought a big “Liz” purse. I just walked into this shop across from the Lila massage parlor...and there it was... and I junk out 3000 bht... my rent for 10 days... three trips to Burma... 16 massages, 37 Chang, 15 days on the scooter, a teeth cleaning... and I just said... I buy it. It is the most un me thing you can imagine but then I have been more of a tour person than a person on a personal tour in my blog since I don't have it in a line that a reader or myself can follow. What do I need..what do I want....what are choices... I went to a detox lecture tonight...not what you usually do while the Night Market is on..and also there was a community spirit releasing.. that is when folks who have identified past life spirits in them allow them to come out in a dance and chant....at the end they leave the “prince” or whoever they were and come back to being joe husband of x...etc... During my class t I learned about parricides, and colon cleaning..and gallstone sensing.. Interesting stuff...

morning Thi chi

my day started with the monks at 6 am, breakfast, I bought a purse.. signed up with Pat, and ex-con to do a full skin cleanse on Thursday after Elies...and then I plan to do a cooking class on Friday...and now I own a purse... and like everything.. a big one.

I have a lot more to read etc but as of now I plan to do a fast once a week..go more veggie...and try to release most dairy... and do my chi Kong...

I am now walking without the map and trusting that when I go "off the path" as you can see in a few of these pictures..that I will find my way to someplace familiar.  I found this great place to get a salad or avocado sandwich...excellent and they also have cookies.  and for anyone who  can't wait...there is a pic of one side of "the purse" and a mirror shot of my puss.

It is interesting...I wrote that the shot of the baby panda was indeed a picture of a picture.. but several said ..you were lucky to get a pic of the baby in the mouth..which says some are more into pictures than my words..which is fine....also interestingly last year Monika went to the Lila massage place and I even took the brochure home... Joe raved about the prison women massage... and I was still drawn to the Lila..only to finally read the brochure... this is where the parolees go...since others will not hire them... so same same but different.... mmmmmmm and do I read?

and for Scott.... there is a place for a coffee cart
