This morning i washed my laundry and hung it on the line and organized my little cabinet space. I feel ready to relax. I went to a tattoo shop today and i have an appointment for tomorrow afternoon. It is ridiculously cheap. So here's to hoping it comes out not cheap. Deborah and i walked down to look at a hotel that she is thinking of using for next years retreat. I wont get into it but there was a huge deal about the women ( ants) not being happy with their accommodations, which really means they expected to come to india and not feel like they were in india. It was an ok hotel, and its a viable option.
Kunchok got his ticket for the train and he leaves on wednesday morning. i told him that i was going to miss him and he wants me to come to dharamshala once he gets back there in a week or so. I am thinking about it.
This morning in the kitchen Deborah told me this amazing story about an adventure she had hiking up a mountain on a 5 day trek and the rafting trip she took the day after coming down and how the raft capsized and how she was caught in a whirlpool. This was 4 or so years ago, when she was 60. She tells an amazing story, and the way she does it is so clearly transmitted. I was right there with her and all i could think was , man, if i could live a life like that. She is an incredible woman. truly. She inspires and delights me on a daily basis. I adore her.
I have definitely caught the adventure bug while here. Its amazing how i forgot how travel expands you, and the more adventurous the travel, the more the expansion. I never imagined that i would have an opportunity like the one i have now. To think that maybe there is a chance somehow that i could have even more amazing adventures and opportunities. I have a whole boatload of motivation for when i get back to Austin. I am going to make things happen. Maybe it will look like a chrysalis.
There is a fruit that just came into season here, its called Sita, fruit of the gods. It is AMAZING!. I am going to do my very best to get one on the plane with me. There is so many wonderful tastes here and i am going to miss them. Kunchok is going to teach me how to make chapati and traditional chai. And i am hoping to bring some spices back with me.
Tomorrow i am going to lay in the sun naked on the terrace! and read my book about the Pacific coast trail. Then i am getting a tattoo and then i hope we go out to dinner for Kunchoks last night. Life is so fucking good, only thing missing is a pretty girl to kiss.
