A Time and a Place For Everything...

oooh! i'm trying to put some pictures on the blog from italy...next time though--complications.
Well this is the time...and this is the place...all though not for everything...but a lot more than I'm accustomed to. Life is good here. The Ashram (OSHO) is quiet. The weather is nice The Ashram is expensive. I am the youngest in at the Ashram right now. It's supposed to pick-up a bunch of new people in the next week or so...that's when the party kicks off. All the cool groups happen later during that time, very few right now, nothing worth spending $200. But their is the AUM meditation this thirsday which i will participate in, Its only for an evening, so i'm still looking for some more, but It caught my eye, and it's been reccomended by three people spontaneously. My gracious grandmother said she will pay for a group and my aunt already paid for my first one called: Being Here. It was like an intro group, that dealt with the 4 different ways to open yourself: Mind, Body, Emotions and Senses(??? I think). It was a nice group...It was relaxed and uneventful compared to the groups and meditations I have done recently in Italy, but it gave me a taste...didn't help me much to conlude anything.... People have been talking alot about Reiki and i've become interested in finding a class that teaches it.
I haven't really become friends with any ladies....their just too damn old! their all at least 30 ;), Maybe a 26 ;) yr old here or there...It's tough being Colin. No, actually the people i have met are nice. For instance i met a spiffy Spanish man with suave name that I already forgot...so hard to pronounce names in the first place...aah well it's not important...anyway he invited me to some crazy party outside the Ashram this Friday...It should be FUN! Most people have situated themselves in the Ashram as a resident--are working all day, or are attending various costly groups. During meals is the only time that people in a large amount appear, making it harder to meet people---young ladies. No worries, just happies. I'm having a good time here. Crystal and jayapal leave tommarow, they are kindly letting me stay in their pre-rented flat. they have been so good to me. shes also paid for 10 days entry into the Ashram which is awesome. that definetly allows me to do some extra groups. and i just heard that if you do volenteer work, not resident work, that they will give you some discounts....reduced entry fee and all that good stuff. so i will check out the work scene...
BAAAA BAAAA BLACK SHEEP.....
I haven't made any plans as to when I will leave, and my thoughts keep changing as to when that might be...but nothings actually decided. i will leave the morning i wake up and decide to leave. at least a week, maybe two....things change so fast though, i have to be careful that i dont mislead myself.
I looked into working and living here and discovered you have to devote three months to become a resident. That solidified my decision: no. It would be nice and all but 3 months is a commitment far to great out of my 7-8 months left. i have alot of india still to see.
Tatenda is awesome....god bless my iPod...though i find myself rarely using it. I love hearing the sounds of India: the Dogs barking, people speaking Hindi, merchants accosting me verbally, the kind "hellos", the ruckus of horns, etc. There's also all the pretty sights...but i wanna leave the computer soon so ill spare the details...sorry folks.
Umm....Ciao peeps. Enjoy your country of residence...If it's Italy I congratulate you, If it's America I laugh scoffingly upon you...playfully of course....You really ought to get yourself to the third world.
Love you all, except for those of you i hate...none come to mind...so I love you all, especially the ones i love the most. So, if you think your one of them flatter yourself. You Are
Peace and Love,
Colin Mathew Son of Leod of Harris--our tartan is better than Lewis...
And Harris is uglier than Lewis! YEA!
Colin's Weekly Anecdote (which normally you're not meant to understand, but i made it simpler and more salient this time):
"With a dash of simplicity and a shake of Childish wonder, i fast upon the evening's sky unto the milky shape appears in my sight and those bountiful pebbles call mine eye into a fanciful splendor dancing about, seducing the essence of Colin into a calmer state of mind, of awareness....This also happened with Peanut Butter, it was great!"
