Today is Easter. Christ is risen - hallelujah!
Hiding on porch of empty house. Chased some curious boys away a few minutes ago. Pissing rain out and Shikha is only 1 hour uphill from here.
This is rain.
I am having many thoughts about the career question which might be best reflected by bullets:
1) Dad thinks that passion for career is tantamount primarily because that has been his own experience.
2) New experience had made me increasingly more simple and loving. I am realizing that all I want is to me near my family, have good freinds of active mind who can stimulate me and help me grow intellectually (are such things possible by email only?) also:
- I want to grow tomatoes, herbs, peppers fruit etc. have plenty to share and host guests in style (permaculture - should I go to school for this?) . Maybe school then go around starting other people's perfect permaculture garden systems before I do my own?
- Maybe I want to have animals around
- This all requires good sun light
Note: An expedition of boys have come around again to molest me, are trying everything, had to chase them away by wacking them on the butts with my walking sticks.
3) To play into the lifestyle somehow are the dozens of activities that I want to get into:
- Kayaking
- Climbing
- Learning to hangglide?
- Flying a plane
4) As well as the things I want to learn:
-To play the flute
- Carpentry, higher math
- Mechanics (to work on cars, other things)
- Beekeeping?
What of these are essential to me and which only reflect the mirrored fire of other people's interests? Taste and see.
