Just call me Rose, Mystic Rose!

3 weeks of laughter, crying and unbelievable silence and it's all over now. Now we just sit back and let the rose bloom. They say it keeps blooming for months ....lets see what happens. In the meantime, its getting bloody hot in this city. So hot that you take a shower, and by the time you step out and dry yourself, you are wet again....with sweat!! It's horrible. I moved to my apartment today and now I am already thinking of leaving here and going to the Himalayas! Looks like me and Arun are going to Nepal. There is a beautiful Osho center there in the mountains. It would be nice to breathe fresh air, feel cold again. I don't know what it feels like to feel cold anymore. I've been in warm weather for almost all of the last 6 months. I've thoroughly enjoyed it but now its too hot. So off I go.

My day starts with the birds at 5:30 am. I meditate around 4 to 5 hours a day, an hour in the morning, an hour at noon, an hour before tea, and 2 hours in the evening. The rest of the day is spent dancing, swimming, reading, talking to friends, listening to birds and just enjoying each moment. What a life! I have started seeing changes in me but it's easy to live this lifestyle in this environment. I don't know how authentic my transformation is so I've decided to take myself for a test drive. And not just any test drive....this is the most scary race car track of life for me. I've decided to visit Vancouver again! Yikes! Every time I think of it, I get scared. So many painful memories there! I want to go visit and see how I am able to deal with the past. Also have to sign my divorce papers and deal with the rest of the shitty stuff that comes with divorce! But I am also looking forward to seeing my beautiful friends again. I want to enjoy the beauty of Vancouver because I don't think I ever really explored it before. So, I'll be arriving there on May 7th for 3 weeks. I'll be calling and bugging you to come out dancing with me when I get there. Looking forward to it. Love you all :)

Spongy, I hope this email wasn't too intense LOL! I love your emails, so funny. I am glad you've found more mossies to keep you company. I wish I could see your lovely alien forehead with the bulbous bites. So, off to see Steve...keep me posted about how things go with him. You know you could always come to visit me if things dont go well. Heck, I'd even go to South America with you to track down Jose! Love you spongy :)

David, so nice to hear from you. Now you know when I am coming to Vancouver. You're gonna have to take me to some trendy places in Vancouver. I'm so out of touch with trendiness. I walk around in my maroon robes with no makeup, hair all over the place...Lol! Do you think that look would get me in any of the bars on Granville? Looking forward to seeing you.
