Late at the keyboard, but early awake at before six am, but did not get up until nine am! I had the intuition to do some medita [low battery interrupt] ion on the subject of conscious existence other than in the human form. I was also awake at three am and meditated some on this topic. I may report some of my thoughts on this later, but not here and now.
At around five pm yesterday afternoon I took the Elbow bus up Center to 23Ave NE and walked over to Sarah and BJ for supper. Sarah’s parents were still there, but leaving next week, so is was a good bye for now visit. When are you coming to Switzerland they asked and I replied maybe in a few years, but not next year. We always have a good connect and I hope to see them again before I undertake such a trip.
I surprised myself with my bus trip enjoying taking in all the shops, scenes in China town and not having to negotiate the traffic. BJ was so kind to give me a ride back home, because the dark slippery sidewalks I felt to be too much of a risk. But, there is always the taxi and this is what I was thinking about this morning over breakfast.
Doing away with the car requires some changes, but I feel I can live with those, making fewer trips and learn to use bus and taxi. Currently I make three visit a week in addition to meeting at the Palliser, which is becoming a bit too often I’ve been noticing. For now I’ll keep exploring doing without my car and see how that feels and works, because my friends too, will be asked to make some changes.
Making fewer social visits will also free up some time for me to work on the activities I set myself this week in the earlier reported schedule. I could visit John and Juliet every two weeks, while I meeting Herman and Don once a month, like I do Jack. We’ll see, but this does feel like the right action to take.
P.S: This will be my closing ‘Daily Entry’ report, as I’m moving the buoys with the shifting tides.
