    you must have forgotten your Canadian experience already. lol

    Yes, location does make a difference, as well as the mentality or culture of the humans around. Life is different everywhere there is life. No people think alike or behave alike, individually, and in group fashion. However, there is basic commonalities, such as fear, love, pain, disgust, pleasure, and a few more.

    You will enjoy for sure the change. Being a Canadian, how much do I like going to warm countries where everybody live mainly outside and are apparently welcoming.

    Now that you are relaxed and happy, let me tell you why I found disconcerting your judgment on Canadians. First, you were expecting us to be exactly like Americans. Eh no, the whole world is not American (i am glad about this), we have different laws and different ways of doing things.

    Second, I have traveled quite a lot, not only traveled, but lived abroad. And believe me, even if cold, Canada is a nice country to live in (as long as you can afford 2 weeks per winter down south lol). Most people are sympathetic, violence is minimal (when comparing of course), women are quite free to go anywhere without too much danger. If you ask, you will rarely be refused help from passerby, except in very large cities.

    So, ok for not liking the cold, but overall, your judgment was not correct. However, I do respect your guts of getting out of what felt wrong and taking all your family and doing what feels right.

    I am sure Virgin Island is great too.

    Have a good time

    Edit: Rakhyt back in Texas would agree with you Target about the cold.

    See, Fred? There's no telling where the impulse to contact your friend regarding PA will lead, now. Let's hope for the highest!

    Excellent observations, Ulli, I think you are on to something big there that is hermetic in nature. Looking forward to your further thoughts on the matter ...

    That is awesome, Target, glad you've been able to make that transition and that it is everything that you've hoped for. A beautiful space you and yours are in, enjoy it to the utmost and continue watching for the synchronicities!

    EDIT: Yes, Flash, I do agree. LOL But I loved my time in Canada and I found Canadians to be everything you state here. I made some real friends up there and I enjoyed the beauty of the country, Quebec is an amazing space. Ontario was nice too.

    Target, you reminded me of when I first arrived in Barbados.
    I had left New York on November 18th, 1974, which was a Saturday, to fly to that tiny Caribbean island.
    Everything changed for me...I felt as if I had finally come home.
    I had booked one week, but ended up staying six weeks. Met the father of my son there, and he went back to England with me. Eight years later I moved there for good. I'm now a Barbados citizen although living in Costa Rica for the last 22 years...where I have residency status.
    If I have to live on planet Earth, let it be in the tropics.
    Folks, it can be done...If I could do it, anyone an.

    Tomorrow is my first day of work, for now I am headed out to enjoy one of the local restaurants; everywhere I look here I see things I can help with or contribute to; I've fallin in with a group of about 15 locals & went to the beach with some of them today.

    Flash: my Canadian adventure was just that, no hard feelings about it despite my other post, sometimes I like to explore dramatic writing & that may have been one instance of it.

    So far the islands seem like either the product of visualization (I did quite a bit of it, seeing myself here with positive feelings & my family surrounding me etc) or it was just meant to be; Canada was just a slice of my trips difficulty... Haha

    Post credit goes to Jean-Luc.

    Lou, my name is Lou,
    Look, I am like you,
    Just that, where ever I go,
    I only have my white cane,
    My braille and my piano.

    Lou, my name is Lou,
    Look, I am like you,
    Just that I have to admit,
    Inside, I am often I feel like a hermit.
    Yes, adversity scares me.
    The crazy world out there scares me.
    My emotions juggle inside me...
    Each tension makes me hedgeHog.

    I know, life sucks,
    Knocks you down,
    Breaks you down, builds walls,
    Our dreams fade away. What a fight!
    I struggle with my stammering,
    And all the disordering.
    Some tell me I am autistic,
    But what can I do, I love music.
    I play with harmonics,
    Notes give me melody,
    Yes, somehow I am an artist,
    Music and Me we are magic.
    For me, my senses is hearing,
    Forbid to touching,
    Can’t smell anything. Limited tasting,
    Yeah, it all give me a lot of worrying.

    This is my life,
    Laughing, crying, and shouting,
    Sometimes courage fails on me on,
    When its time to move on.
    Daddy and Mommy say:
    That’s the way. Nobody has it his own way,
    Love make you stronger,
    Tenderness even stronger.
    I need big hugs,
    I need help, A hand,
    A laugh, and a kif,
    To stay positive.
    Lou, my name is Lou,
    Tell me, am I not like you?
    We all have our dangers,
    Everyone has challenges.
    Everyone has pains and gains,
    No worries, no hopes,
    Breakings and blessings,
    And fear of the future.

    You, I am talking to you,
    Tell me, is it really that crazy,
    To think there always is worse,
    To smile on, until we pass on?
    Yes, You, I am talking to You,
    We have to stand up,
    And never stop loving us up,
    Hold our hands, and hugs us up.

    Lou, my name is Lou,
    Look, I am like you,
    Just that, where ever I go,
    I only have my piano,
    My white cane and my braille.
    Lou, my name is Lou,
    Lou, that is me and that is You.
    Lou...

    Great to hear from Dan again

    For those interested ... Clif High's latest (2/22/13) wujo clarifies the similarities and differences of his take on the RV data associated with a potential coastal event and that of Courtney Brown's group (they exchanged a friendly phone conversation).

    That portion only takes the first several minutes before going on to another topic.

    Sun today is Pisces 8:
    A GIRL BLOWING A BUGLE

    This Symbol shows the ability, or the need, to be able to sound the call, to rally
    people together, to know when to speak or “Blow her Bugle” to awaken others,
    to wake up to realities going on in the world, join some cause, etc.
    At times in your life, you are likely to feel the need to wake up those around
    you, and, at times, perhaps be woken yourself. When situations get
    bogged down in emotional or rational complexity and everyone just needs
    to be rallying and going for the objective, you may be the one to let
    everyone know. Sometimes this Symbol can show someone who makes a
    lot of noise; justified or unjustified and they can get people moving.
    Using simple, receptive innocence will get situations back on track.
    Sounding the call. Awakening all to action. Loudspeakers, telephones,
    announcements. Rise and shine! Leading the charge.
    Resurrection. Proclamations. Whistle blowers.

    The Caution: Unwarranted and disturbing noise. Showing off.
    Trumpeting about oneself. Not listening to people.
    Being annoying. Interrupting. Betraying confidences. Loud voice.
    The greatest privilege of a human life is to become a
    midwife to the awakening of the Soul in another person.”
    ~ Plato

    Will share a combination wonderful gift of sorts ... yet at the same time a really moment ...

    Dropping of kiddies to school today I heard an awesome song I had never heard before.

    From Jethro Tull in late 80's from an album that actually won a grammy award (beating out Metallica's first album). Very odd that cuz I really loved Jethro Tull and had their first couple albums but for whatever reason didn't get that one. Odder still is not even hearing this song.

    Jumped timelines???

    Missing time (as in *years*???)

    Anyhoo ... thought I would share the moment ...

    Got out of my entrance this morning and waaked the parked in the street neighbors' car. Lovely. He was not there so I left my card in his windshield not to be a hit an run, and I went away. I will probably have a discussion and paperwork tonight. His driver's door is damaged.

    Now have to go work.

    Have a good day everyone,

    Full moon always makes me feel really surreal and lunatic and now that I have flu I'm really dizzy. I don't even have to the energy to meditate. I should try sleeping early on tonight, because my batteries need some serious recharing though I think that falling asleep won't be easy...

    Well, this is one those days again.
