Not Wilpattu. I am in Yala. Southern part. The highway was completed few months ago. So it's little more than 3 hour drive.
Wilpattu is a longer drive from Colombo and no highway. But I have to go up to that area very soon. An elephant mother gave birth to twin cubs. I hope I get to see them. It's first time recorded twins here.
Not going wild in the wild. I am behaving. But peed in the park. although there are rest rooms I couldn't hold till I get there. I had to mark my territory leopard way.
I am always friendly with the security guards, so they take my cart and unload it in the car and takes the cart back. Of course I tip them.
Thinking about it, I think I am lucky to have people who willingly carry my shopping. At the butchery, there is a guy who never lets me carry a bag. Most of the times shop people volunteer to take my bags to the car.
May be they all love me. But a younger boyfriend I dated in recent past said it's pheromones I produce that men seem to be at my service.
But I wish to think, it is because I am a nice person. Not pheromones.
Fay, I think it is good you are enjoying the undying love and all the smiles that comes with it. Your parents are a testimony of love, and lasting love.
My love and prayers for them and you, lovely lady.
Wear a mask only in crowded places. But it is not healthy to wear it for long, I heard. Stay safe, stay blessed.
The confusion, the turmoil, the lack of proper insight. It's all crazy. I look at everything what is happening and ask, whaaaaat? We are supposed to be the only evolving species on earth.
Gg, although I posted the blog in a lighthearted manner, I was studying the mind according to Buddhists.
There can't be madness. Usual self and unusual self is a better way . I think. But then what is usual. Our usual selves are influenced by society and it's norms. Our thoughts and actions are influenced by other people more than ever. We witnessed this with BLM protests.
It's a deep topic. But I don't like being serious here.
We are returning to normalcy Johnny. Now I am wondering what is this normalcy. It's madness. I was getting used to lockdown. It was quite nice staying home.
I am always live and kicking. But when I stop to think, I go mad.
I'd be glad to see your fish tank Cat, and even help you with positions in the waterbed if you ask me to. I mean lying on your back and sideways an all.
Africa is where my heart beats right. I don't have any travel plans there as of now. I wouldn't want to leave if I come. There is nothing like hearing the rains down in Africa. All in good time.
Take care and at least show up here once in a way with a blog please. I miss the good ones.
Even the bad trees produce oxygen. The purpose of a tree is not the fruit alone Harbal. We should not take any notice of bad trees or their fruits. So spare the axe Harbal.
Anyway, last thing I need right now is protests for Bad trees matter. I am getting sick of chaos all over.
I am wondering why you are looking for a religion. A moderately tolerable one ?
I think religious practices are nothing but states/modes of meditation.
When we pray, we seek forgiveness. I think it is a state of consciousness rather than repentance. Even if it is repentance, it is awakening consciousness. Isn't it?
You don't need a religion V. You don't have to belong to one. Mindfulness is a self taught practice. Digging history is trying to validate your beliefs. Why do you want to validate your beliefs. It should be your experience of a greater power, than just a belief. I'd say.
In to the wild
Luke, you are right. I am in Yala. Nothing like Ngorongoro or Maasai mara. But still good to be in natural world watching natural behaviour.
