The jeep is in bad shape. It doesn't feel like it's the battery or the alternator. The starter is fine... I registered just now to BCAA to get my free towing, but all the garage shop are closed in the region. I need to wait until tomorrow to get it towed. What a weird reality. I guess I am done with the Jeep too, a new era. I was hoping it would last for a few more months. We'll see. In the process of qualifying everyone at the Ashram, I also look at women and rate their attractiveness. I guess we all do that, and I used to feel really shameful about it. Now I see it happen but I don't really care. I know too much that look only won't lead to a good relationship. One women catch my attention though, and I try to be not too obvious about looking at her. But she reminds me of something. She finally comes to me today and ask if I was at the Raise festival a couple weeks ago, and then it clicked. We had a quick chat about the yoga nidra journey I was leading there. I meet other people, some of them, I've tutored them when they were younger. Another woman I met, is from the slocan valley, I actually almost lived in her place when she was in Peru. A very funny encouter. I'm used to know most people at the Ashram, but now it seems like I have some karmic link with everyone. They all say 'Oh, your jeep broke at the Ashram, you should probably stay here for ever then!' Life has been quite challenging in an hard to understand way. Like a weird pattern, things seems like bad news, but then it ends up being okay, or even better than ok. There is some sort of a purge, and I have to just keep doing the work BUT keep positive through it. Some sort of acceleration, and I just want to take a break, but it feels like it will continue to be like that. I fantasize about have a quiet winter in my cabin on the lake, making music, writing, cooking. A big pot on the wood stove with broth boiling everyday.

A good grounding, I took a nap in the middle of the trees. The scenery has change a lot in 12 years. I was trying to find the spot my ex and I would go an hide. I worked in the garden in the afternoon, harvesting grapes with three other women. I got quite chatty, I am not sure how that went. I have a friend who is always over excited to talk to people. I felt like that a bit. I know how annoying it is, but it was also quite healing. At 3pm they all told me we were done, they would finish the rest, I could leave. When I realized it was 30 minutes before the end of the 'work' it made me wonder. I should really be more mindful, and shut up a bit more.
