I had to surrender!

I was pretty sick yesterday. I could in fact count in a single hand the number of times I had dodgy tummy or sore throat or a cold; but yesterday I simply had to surrender to my bed; as much as I denied it I simple couldnt move. It was a day of fever, the runs and aching bones from a very string ayurvedic rope massage I had earlier in the day. It is amazing the observe my mind, how it fights to get up and go, sit outside and read or be away from home; so that I feel like I'm still functioning and not surrendering to resting and sickness! Afterall this is how I always functioned in London, if I was ill I would take medicine and somehow get through my working day. I know deep down that this isnt the way and I'm only weakening myself but habits sometimes grow stronger than logic. Anyway, it was good to rest and I watched a great movie "Breakfast at Pluto's"

Today hoever I am off to the zoo...That'll be crazy for sure, especially seeing caged animals, looking very sad, in India??? But I will go anyhow and give them some loving energy. Since doing a safari in Kenya and actually seeing animals free in their own habitat I have grown away from the idea of zoos. But then there is nothing more hypnotic than simply watching some bugs moving around, getting on with their lives; just like I watched that little frog Chikoo in my room in Goa...

Again so much has happened, often small things but with big impacts. It is a pity that I cant write my observations instantly as they come to me. I always think "well, I have to write about this on my blog later" but it escapes by the time I sit in front of my PC.

One is my obseravtion of the ditch at the bottom of my road. It looked like a big excavation to a water main (thas me not wanting to accept that its is sewage) that was there for 2 weeks but rather than safety messages and boards it was surrounded by big stones so that if you are to walk straight into it you would topple over some rocks as well as falling into a deep ditch...I dont quite see the safety aspect. Anyhow I have aphoto of it to add on to my albums soon. Then yesterday one of the big rocks was missing so if you somehow walked in the correct angle you could surely be unfortunate to fall straight into it...But now they have closed the dicth with those chunky rocks so I dont have to imagine a little indian indian person in it...or perhaps they are buried in it:) ouch...

Ok, must go to the zoo now...I will write about that also. Phew, busy lifestyle...How did I ever manage to work 9-5 when life can be filled with so many fun things??
