... and practising patience, the third treasure of the Tao ... compassion and simplicity well under way and patience the one in need of some work .... which arrives in the form of potential incoming replacement housesitters, last heard of a week or so ago, seeking a way of shifting stuff from Sheffield to San Enrique with an estimated arrival mid-September ... but nothing since ...
As the weather is still very warm and dry, the Casa comfortable, rent-free and nearby company congenial, it is no hardship to linger longer .... though friends await news to fit with their own plans ... Colin in France, heading to Berlin this month before returning to delightfully damp Darlington for the winter ... an invitation from Jan in Penamacor, central Portugal, who has friends interested in intentional community living ... an itch to walk the Camino del Norte ... an event in the Western Algarve linked to Noomap 24th and 25th September ... fires raging thereabouts and in central Portugal too ...
Meanwhile, Diogo, a young friend from Portugal has stayed a few days, which has been wonderful ... he and his friends keen on the intentional community idea too ... which gives it so much energy as well as new skills and local knowledge ... our topic mainly the nature of freedom. .. his next adventure in Croatia with young people from different countries on a year long Erasmus project ...
So, this experiment in freedom continues, with a chapter closing, but no certainty of when, another opening with no certainty of what ... and sometime soon all will be revealed ... with patience the practice if equanimity is to be maintained ...
