Come down for a week Kitty....I promise you will feel "rejuvenated"....

This is a non-bitch bitch....Malta at 9.00...the skies are an incredible blue, the sea almost black-blue...the boats are out....the barbecues are out....the people are out, grabbing the best picnic or beach spots , most maltese have but one day free, so they don't mess about, the get out early...I can't believe it...into my third month here, and not a drop of rain so far...now I know why the Impressionists all went to southern France....whoo...hoo.....enjoy your bitch-free Sunday...

thunderous clouds bellow
deep throated, cries
craaaack!- flash!- lightened skies

night rain falls upon corrugated sheets
droplets dance, melodically, methodically, a soothing tryst

-frosty mornings, clear and crisp
smell like water- and tastes of a virgin kiss

Twin!! Something DID happen to me that set me free!!! Well, at least it made look at how I was living and question the quality of my life!!!

I had a regular job (secondary teaching - EXTREMELY stressful), a regular mortgage (Extremely stressful as I was the only one I could trully count on for the payments to keep the roof over the heads of up to 5 people) , what should have been a regular marriage (extremely stressful as he had a mental condition), a daughter who bless her and love her made some wrong choices she is still "paying for" to this day (although she's getting there!!!) and who needed regular support emotionally and financially and a son who's needs, thank God, were pretty regular (still doing good now!!) ... Basically I was the "support system" for a few too many people!!! Me, myself got a little forgotten as someone had to keep the "show" together!!!

Till my body said ENOUGH!!!!! by the time I had a consultant apologising profuselly for "some internal growths" somehow having been discovered only at this late stage, I got the wake up call I needed!!!!! I decided if my days were numbered there was absolutely NO WAY I was going to spend them in the present quality of life (- 150 %) ... Then it hit me!! If the quality of my life was not acceptable if my days were numbered WHY should it be acceptable for ever if my days were not numbered?

Before even knowing what was going to happen to me, my marriage was over ... Then after removal of growth and biopsy which proved how lucky I was (only pre-cancerous!!!) I was never terribly materialistic, but even more so material things became totally immaterial. Sold house, got rid of most of my stuff, quit job ... came to terms with the fact I could not be my adult daughter's support system for ever and let her fly solo!!!! My son was already independent. I Lived in a small room out of my suitcases for a few months ... The whole household had been thinking of starting a new life in Spain for a couple of years anyway !!!! But now I only had me to think about!!!!! Then I joined CS and almost changed my plans

And then ...

I met gongman!!! I feel pretty free!!!! I am here because that is were I want to be. We are together because we want to!!!

Life is not fair ... sometimes ... but for me life is GREAT!!!! I don't really care much for social acceptance (I am me!) and I am working on getting rid of conditioning ...

done!

thank you.......

then you and I need one of those GPS, I have a knack for getting lost

Apart from the head stuff,which I used to occupy myself with and then came to the conclusion that it is much simpler to simply be..........

I feel that I have been three separate entities in this life none of whom bore any relationship to the other.

First there was the Merchant Navy navigator.Travelled the world (and got paid to do it) but not recommended as a career.We used to say that being at sea was like being in prison with the additional risk of drowning

Then injuries recieved in a motorbike accident put an end to that Thank you fate,it hurt like f#ck but you did me a favour. Too young to stop work at 39 I went back to college and studied for three years and got my City and Guilds as a cabinet maker. Worked as such for some years and thoroughly enjoyed it.Creating with my hands was a totally satisfying experience as opposed to complicated navigational trigonometry.

Then left UK and moved to France. Bought the farmhouse and land.Had my woodworking machines with me. My place was used as a centre for various workshops in alternative living,amongst which were studies in overtone singing (singing two notes at the same time..... think Tibetan monks or Siberian shamen) The teacher brought gongs and Tibetan bowls.First time I ever heard them was in a 10m diameter tipi on my land.I was hooked!

Thus the Gongman was conceived. And after a gestation period of eight years he was finally born! Practice,practice,practice and then practice some more.Three different people all having used the same body as a vehicle.

Now in Spain with Flower,working together providing sound therapy and spiritual healing.

And if I could do it all again?? I would be a luthier (guitar maker) Imagine creating a beautful instrument for a world class musician and then hearing it played in a virtuoso style

And then a jam session with the gongs................................

Instead we can get a leg of a pig in any corner or stretch of a street.

I feel Gooood!

Been through the house with a flame thrower in one hand and a fire hose in the other so all evidence of my slovenly batchelor week has been eradicated

Next to the village to get supplies.Chicken. Cooked with garlic,ginger and oyster sauce. Tis not just men who have a route to their heart via the stomach yerknow.

100 km drive tonight to the airport,but the scenery is beautiful through the mountains near Granada.

Candles are arranged around the bath.

Bottle of something good in the fridge.

I have it all covered I think.

Any other suggestions are welcome though.

Two well regarded members are missing and I believe will be for some time. Just to say, as I usually try to smooth along with all and not take sides or get caught up in bun fights (except for fun with RK) I hope these two people have a great time away from here and come back soon.

what's the name of the kitty u are holding in ur hands? she's lovely
