2nd sunday morning


It is Sunday morning in CM and guess what...it is a lovely 72 degrees, clear ski, and a light snog over the mountain. While I carry a compos when I am out and about since you can get on a cross street and all of a sudden you are not sure of your direction. However, if you keep your relationship to the sun and if you can see the mountains...it is very easy. Saturday was “chat” day. I arranged two meals with interesting people and breakfast with bonny. Now that going up and down stairs is not as much of a project, I don't mind living on the 3rd floor.
I have discovered that I follow the law of mature...The more room I have, the more I scatter my belongings. I do better with stuff about than space. So maybe a smaller room, not a larger room would be a good thing. Also, I have a wardrobe that is empty...I have three stacks in my duffel and I am happy to know my clothing. I have put teams of clothing in the packs so I can just take the top of two columns and I am dressed.
I am trying to live like American TV...with a six second delay. My processing...i am washing my face just as I am doing the washing is getting closer. Today at the market I am going to secure a face washing cloth. Since I only have hot water with the shower hose, I scrub my face in the shower.










I am getting much closer to simple living or simply living. I have no place to go and nothing to do. I am planning my living space after Kim goes. This will be my daily living spot during the teeth so it is important to be comfortable. I know the Kristi...and I will have to get it settled before we leave for ENP (2 weeks). 
Yesterday, I had a long lunch with my new associate Jeannine from Canada. She is staying near the TCM and QiGong side of CM. She has made it her own with a rug and lights and curtains but keeps her back door open that looks at the mountainsss and Doi Suthep (wat on the hill). It was a long leisurely chat lunch... In the morning, I eavesdropped on a traveling sangha having a monk chat. 


 They had questions and wanted the answers in simple direct terms. At the end, they wanted to read something as a group, get their questions together and then meet next week to have them answered. (sssst...there are no answers...it is the question). There were kids in class behind me which always draw my attention. And last evening, had a bowl of Pho with Henry and Hannah...such nice folks....I am watching championship bocci... Salt is the movie this am... it made a mess in Albany when it was being made.....

30 .bhat to the $1 $5.00 for an hour massage.
so time to post, pictures, shower and break the fast before my 2.5 hr body scrub and oil massage with a hot wrap..... I will be a pig in a blanket....lol

 Wow, it is easy to slip into a similar pattern to what I had at home. I produced a plan to change many things - delete more emails, eat hea...
