first contact

today i received first human response to these entries.
exciting, i am smiling and chuckling as i speak (write).
several attempts at re-locating to my home-town area where loved ones reside just didn't work.
i finally decided to live where this soul feels most at home....the west coast of canada....actually my second most favorite place....first being rishikesh, a hindu holy city along the ganges river in the himalayan foothills of india.
i have often felt frustration at the geographical reality of canada....those loved ones are and have been 3,000 miles away....and the "outa sight - outa mind" phenomenon has played out.
short visits were not possible, and personal finances prohibited visits at all.
this is my way of reaching out across the miles (kilometers) to share the "reality" of daily life on this end.
i am also hoping to inspire open-minded/hearted communication and exchange.
i never actually fell off the map....just been wandering much of the time in uncharted territory....at least unfamiliar terrain to most humans who have chosen a "conventional" set-up.
early in life i realized this would not be my fate.
karma, destiny, whatever it's called led me into the unknown, like it or not.
had i known what was in store perhaps i might have stayed put.
am reminded of old song...."fools rush in where angels fear to tread !"
this fool was definely no exception !
