Nature V's Suburbs...

Recently spent some time at Cape Jervis.

Slept under the stars which was really nice, out in the open air, was a bit windy, and the stars make it hard for me to sleep, cause there is that bright cool luminous shinning feeling I get inside my forehead.

At one stage I woke up, and the Galactic Center was right over head, so I tried to focus on that in between waking up and sleeping again.

I am missing being able to see Pleiades in the sky at night, the Sun is getting closer, at least soon Vega should be visible again!

This time it really left such an impression on me, the environment there, so much so when I returned to where I live I couldn't get the trees out of my mind, and I almost felt some sort of psychic connection with the place. It was a really heavy and earthy impression to it.

I also realised how wonderful it is to be completely challenged, and forgo the comfort of that which was familiar, I think for the first time I really began to enjoy that, it does feel more like living.

Watching a Rosella bird that liked to come to eat seeds, I noticed how it could never eat in peace, it would take a few nibbles and quickly look around to make sure there was no danger or threat... then I thought about how fake it is for humans, sitting around in their houses, totally complacent, especially when they are lounging around and drinking alcohol, or some other drug, with no sense that there is anything to be cautious or alert about.

The more prospect for danger there is, the more potential there is for death to occur at any moment, the more precious the opportunity of human birth becomes.

It's also so much better washing out doors and letting the sunlight also clean the body, rather then being inside with a shower, in a bathroom which just develops mould and mildue, and closed in by four walls.

It takes me longer to do things, because I need to use different methods out in nature, but there is also less things that need to be done, so in the end there is still more time to pursue spiritual activities, once the daily maintenance/survival issues are taken care of.
