CrCh Botanical Gardens.. lovely spot to hang for the day

Today was well spent with tour-walking around the Botanical Gardens in Christchurch, then ending up with a nice Nor' wester Beer from DUXdeLUX that weighed in at 6.4 % Yummy.. the garden was great.. walking around massive sequoias and hemlocks and oaks and pines.. shit I was missing home and then stood underneath a gigantic hemlock and lost it .. all emotions and feeling stirring and then the little cone on the tip of the Branch arrangement ..was strring right back at me and wow... oh man .. I thought I was home.. but then realized I am wearing a tiny tank top and its December 12Th and the sky was blue and the temperature was down right muggy and hot.. funny .. but .. very good time lapse.

anyhoo. I am still here and chomping at the bit to carry on and be very busy with travel.. because the busier I am the less i have to think about .. only getting to and from places.. great distraction travel is. best of wishes. love melisa

I am Teaching and they love me..

Ok, so the rivers of Earth Were formed from large collections of rain from many many clouds after the great fireball earth cooled, millions of years ago, and it took man a mere 5000 years to putrefy them.. nice work man........ ok Yep my new job is great. I live doing something productive. the slow pace of settled India is to slow, I went on a walk with some elder women in my home upstairs, they take one step then the next and so on and I usually wait for the 12th step before I take my first one.. SLOW man I MEAN SLOW...its interesting for me.. I am a running dashing dancing prancer,, I can really move it... hah ha.. so this new speed of life .. I am glad I am a visitor.. any whoo.. blessing and peace. Auntie

wake up and smell the coffee

Cold winds a blowin, sing songs a howlin. The weather is raw the weather is king. Shorter days knocking at the door. remembrances of yesteryear, the good old days, realizing they are permanently gone and that it will never be the same state again. Its a hard world to swallow sometimes, and especially as the time progresses and with that the expectations of adaption and evolution are ever present.. But it's easier to reflect than pro actively predict.! I am faced with the harsh reality that the place in the world that I am from , the magical all possible place that I come from is vanishing, slipping away and turning into a place of sour milk and no longer that rich golden land of milk and honey...... no dwelling but really dwelling. that is the state I sit in. the longing and desperation of knowing exactly how things would turn out. its gone its gone so gone gone gone... not hopeless just placeless spaceless danceless joyless empty outta wack adaptive acceptance

UP North: made it from a 35 hour train ride, AGRA

Well I thought I was going to go to south India exclusively but, here I am In Agra. the Taj Mahal was A delight. I was sad and Calm and Amazed the environment is a host for so many world travelers.. many peoples and many culture rise to the occasion for a majestic viewing what a place.. I am glad SO GLAD I made it up here.. I am suppose to be 3000 kl south of here meeting up for the weeding party but >. WELL Plans change in INDIA... oh boy do they. I will be heading to Delhi tomorrow, and the Rajstan. But Dack to Cochi for the wedding in a flash.. Heres my advise: When you think your reality is as good as it gets.. try taking a different seat on the train or the bus and a whole new wolrds pops into view.. ALL MY Love and Peace... happy christmastime.. YOURS MELI
