Here and Now...What's Happening?

[Lisab]

I used to have tsunami dreams when I was around 16 except I used think tidal wave as had never heard the word tsunami. Years later i became good friends with a girl and we would discuss our dreams and it turned out she used to have the exact same tsunami dream as me when she too was young. The dream consisting of walking along the beach front promenade, very crowded, wave coming, screaming and running with the whole town. Anyway a few years later again and the same girl plus two other friends ended up surviving the 2004 episode in Sri Lanka. It was awful, everyone here watching the news and praying. Awful.

Had another tsunami dream.
The interesting thing was that the crest of the wave was not a straight line; there were higher and lower parts.
We survived.

Wow, same here (yesterday; 2nd ever tsunami dream).
Mountainous wave height, impossible.
No fear of death, just facing it.
When it hit - shallow waters, unbelievable.
Seems it was only a holographic projection.

Holographic projection...that's it! That's all that 2012 stuff is about.
Of course people need to get a grip on their lives. It's happening.
Costa Rica is going through some major changes and the government wants to make everything like the US, especially install huge wheelchair facilities.
There is a hardware store which recently opened and the parking area has no less than 36 wheelchair bays. I'm imagining 36 plumbers and painters and electricians doing their shopping in wheel chairs.

Now my husbands office has been taken on by the Ministry of Health. The bathroom is too small. There has never been an issue with the bathroom. He has been there for twenty years, renting from a woman who inherited the house from her parents and she has never spent one cent on upgrading the building. Admittedly it is only $500 a month in rent, but husband has done eveything including paint the outside. But now they want this tiny house to be converted into a hyper-modern clinic.
Husband believes the big private hospitals are behind the new laws, which will force a lot of the smaller village doctors out of their offices.
This happened just yesterday, so I imagine my tsunami dream is related.

But of course that was then and this is now!

Tsunamis can have a lot of different forms indeed and its an excelent methaphore for everything thats large and floods any system in any way shape or form.

I was in Sri Lanka the year of the tsunami, the flood washed away people houses, livelyhoods, animals, memories, loves, fears etc etc.
When we were at the the beach some old lady who we remembered from our last vacation there invited us to dinner that evening and we shared some banana's and a coke. She told us after the tsunami she dreamt< ( This was only weeks after the flood another flood would come and she saw masses of bricks and timber rolling her way and the wave stopped on a hill where she fled to when the actual tsunami took place).

It was a scary but good dream as she found out later, some german aid in the form of cash and volunteers came to Unawatuna and build her a real brick and timber house with an actual front door instead of a palm leaf curtain, they did the same for the remainder of the surviving villagers there, we still send her a letter every now and then and get some pictures from her. When we can spare it we send some cash or a cheap mp3 player for her sons loaded with reggea.

That's it. It's not the cash, it's things like this that 'transport the love'.
Very touching.

Yeah its was really bad, we were staying in a hotel in Colombo and were rushed out of our room into a bus and driven further inland, a few hours later it hit, the only thing we saw of it was the news until two weeks later and we headed for shore again. Absolute warzone, very scary, teenagers with black pilotsunglasses in uniforms, and AK 47, did not contribute a damn thing, mostly the poorest of the poor who could not afford decent housing and lived of the fish in the ocean and the nuts an bananas from the trees were washed away.

Yeah, you are so right Meeradas, the money is spent in a week, the music lasts a very long time and feeds the soul.

Amazing Plumber. I myself missed the Tsunami by months as I had just got back a few months before. My friend is married to a Sri Lankan fellow and we all stay in touch. I can't wait to go back.

Fact is, you' re putting sth of your Self into it.
To me, that's the essential thing to do; and you did.
Not saying "some cash or a cheap mp3 player" is nothing -
but through your loading it with music, it got 'personally charged' -
multiplying it's worth exponentially. For the recipients, and for yourself.
Good man.

Lucky you eh, and they are great people, very sweet, social, loving, warm, welcoming, sharing, and the mountains, jungle, ocean, and FOOD, prices, tuktuks and flipflops and saris and tea, and snooker, and club sandwiches, spices are so cheap on the market or even in the supermarkets, and, and, and and.

Sigh, cant go now but if i could i would go back in a heartbeat.

Didnt like a lot of the monks though.

They are indeed some of the most wonderful people I've ever met and the food....drool! I agree with Meeradas and yourself too, music always transends and brings people together. We go to Hikkadoa and they celebrate Bob Marleys birthday every year with a big festival. My friends husband came here on holiday last year and cooked us a Sri lankan feast. Rice and curry, delicious! Unfortunately I won't be going back myself yet for a while.
Ps I used to also send music to people I met in Morocco.that was a long time ago now in the era of the cassette!

Funny country isnt it, in the plane you ahve to fill out your visa, and make notice of the fact in case of smuggling any kind of dope in or out of the country, you will probably get a life sentence and if your lucky theyl hang you a bit sooner.

But when your in the country it get is ridiculous, everybody wtih a jungle backyard grows the HERB and they stole my roling papers any chance they got, ( no joints for me, i just like to smoke rolies.) The beats are busting out of nearly every tuktuk and if you say you are from holland you get the funny knowing grin aaaaaaaaaaaaah holland eh, yeaaaaaaah we know about hollaaaand, say no more say no more.

I called the strung out jungle brother sons of the old lady the doobie brothers, as soon as they got home from fishing they started to smell funny and got the munchies.

those where the times i just put a little distance between me and them for personal safety reasons. ( i'm sure a few rupees would have cleared the whole thing right up with the cops but nah, didnt take the chance.

DUH. ghehehehe

Had a wonderful homemade veggie soup evening birthday meal...glorious fixins created by my daughter, Tara.

Both my daughters, Tara and Kyla(my 22 year old I only see once in a while) and Lizzie, my granddaughter...and of course, Purdy the golden pup : )

I actually sat down at the kitchen table like a somewhat normal 3Der and listened and conversed : )

Kyla and I had a wonderful 'spirit' talk of question and answer catch up time on the starlit back deck...
oh sooooo grateful for the Love in my Life : )

hmmmm,
yum yum

but then again, ulli has eaten and besides decided the time has come that even cats needs to switch their eating habits.
First Vegan Leopard, ever.

[ulli]

A quick explanation re my new avatar is in order.
Astrid was so kind to do some digging and found my power animal.
The blue-eyed black leopard is it
and I feel truly comfortable.
So ulli the stork is having a rest for a while.
Started to get a neckache from carrying all those babies.
To not make people feel afraid of my dark appearance, my piercing eyes and my powerful stride
I decided to show myself as a toddler.
Grrrr.....

Well, she was visiting while i was on here - and you know how this thread looks like, no pic needed.
If she'd been browsing herself, i bet it would have been about food.

Sounds like a beautiful birthday, Eaglespirit. Your family, and homemade soup around the kitchen table ... and stars to top it off. Does it get any better?

Ulli, so kewl! Love your little leopard.

She can come see me and have millet. She's adorable... I should know, what kind of bird? Bet Sierra could tell us.

Leopard so pretty Ulli, I love.
