An abandoned Karaoke place

Fortunately Takashi San felt the same need to move on because he said emphatically Wait just one moment! He came back out and said Go to Mishiyama – Here cancel.
Music to mon ears!

We got our packs etc and hoofed it to the train station. By then I was getting the texts back saying not to look a gift horse in the mouth etc. It was good to get a reality check.
As we were walking along, the texts were vibrating in my pocket.

TEXTS...

AF: It’s the Universe providing. Remember?! However. If you think its selling out, then it is. Respect just for being there E.

GMC: Forget the selling out thing. You set yourself a goal so do what it takes to meet it- with you all the way with love!

GEC: Nup, definitely not selling out – just part of the process and journey! There will be a good reason 4 his offer…and 4 u accepting…

BW: But are you selling out? You went 2 take each day as it comes. You are (there) to have an adventure – go with your gut. If it (is to) relax and smell da flowers (then) do it well…

SB: It is usually the ego that speaks of selling out. Ask the mirror? Creativity or surrender of the limiting self? This is not about $. Bless you E.
What a reassuring support crew!!


And then…
The Saint: You have gone so fast thru them, would be a shame not to see all. I still hav your acc no, I can put some in 2moro…

I really didn’t expect that one!

EL to The Saint: That would be the BEST!! I thought I was going to have to finish another time. For the 176th time – what would I do without you?

Wondering, yet again, what I did to deserve such a loving and supportive family, I immediately texted the others back to tell them of my brothers generous offer…

My gorgeous Saint of a brother is going to put money in my account tomorrow – so pressure is off. I really like the man but feels more like a rushed tactical mission now than an adventure aka not as exciting and fun and spontaneous…

CLM (my son): Very good very good! This is my last 20cents, so bye for now! Keep txtn me ok? I love you and I’m missin u heaps too. Keep on keeping on MumE dearest…

Someones home

I felt a little flat from constant Go Gear. The constant drizzle was dappening and everything looked faded and gray.
I hadn't felt comfortable in todays cities or country side at all - very tacky and un-nerving. There were too many gaudy theme park type Hotels out of a Stephen King novel - faded, flaking paint and falling apart. My unsettled spirits didn't endear me too this place either.

Also - I could have been going around and around the same small piece of countryside for all I knew. Everything looked familiar and, apart from todays Gaudeville, there had been not many defining features - even the coastline had been constant...
