New Name New Direction

Our life after Nepal and Slidell is now settling into that comfortable yet anxious place where we wish to be actually doing something with ourselves instead of aimlessly wandering. After visiting with my sister in LA and stopping at various homes of friends on our north bound voyage (thank you Terras and GFR,) the chips are beginning the fall where they may. They have not shown their true colors yet but soon we will have to do something besides visit friends with warm houses, sans cats. Ironically, one week with each of your friends adding upto a year of goodtimes and no rent is a college fantasty of mine. Crazy how those intentions you put forth come back to you as this reality. Kind of makes you wonder if this physical word we think of as so hard and real is just the dreamy after effect of our immortal energies. And why then we put so much energy into changing our world thru such chanels as money, society, or moral imperatives, when we could simply energize our infinite loving self within oneness. Don't get me wrong here, I am trying to change my life through the "ways of the the world" with great determination. Living on the road in a cramped cold damp van in the winter with next to no coins in the coffer is a great motivation for a change in my world. And so as a small token of change and in the spirit of moving away from lack and saddness, Dolores will be expunged from our home's title. Gloria is the current name in charge. (Dolores, we recently found out, comes with too much history of great loss and sorrow, being a manifestaion of the Virgin de Guatalupe.) We hope Gloria will inspire us to new heights. More soon on the direction we are taking. For today we will drive north and look for snow on Mt. Shasta and then in Bend, Or. P.S. Julie has two phone interviews this week for jobs!! light and love zach
