.... 'ello again :-)) I wrote most of the above after my first day here...now 3 and a bit days in I feel I like I've been here much longer and feel already quite settled (much more to come, I imagaine). I feel much happier and hopeful/excited about my endeavours/contributions here. I feel closer to at least some of the community members.... and we've already been to one beach party!! it was fantastic....topped off especially by a 2am swim and continued the dancing there with some crazy splashing game too that we embarked on.
I've now got my teeth stuck into two different clearing projects and know what I'm doing. And I'm feeling like time is not running away with me by embarking on the creative endeavours I wish to.... I was inspired this evening to write not just the kind of songs I've written thus far but to experiment with developing a few, simple, short spiritual song phrases.... I shall also use the wealth of examples on YouTube to perhaps facilitate a Yoga session.... (just meditation in swing at moment) and/or a kind of meditative dance session in addition to theatre improvisation session.... open invitation to all in the community (9 people) though I shall enact this on me tod happily too if no one joins...think they will though... as said previously... therr's been much support and encouragement for the ideas I've suggested).
I tried to come with as few expectations as possible.... from my reading and communication, I interpreted that the variety of food available would not be quite so diverse and of high quantities. From their work agreements/exchanges with various companies.... they receive tonnes of food that is perfectly fine to eat and yet would otherwise be thrown away.... so I still have the normal temptations of choc spread, biscuits, sauces, bread and whatever else.... as well a the overeating temptation ...all being highlighted further by me at present due to abdominal pain Ive been getting (IBS type thing). Anyways, all this can be seen as just further opportunities for further self-growth rather than being in the easy position of a place where certain foods/things are not able to be accessed. :-)) Of course, the lack of stress here and lack of pressure on time or 'duties' and the HEAT seems to decrease my will to eat more than a little anyway.
Change/evolution of course is never far away... one woman arrives with her son soon.... we'll see what fruits this brings :-))) it will be lovely and an honour for me to already welcome someone else into the community :-))))
Very tired so apologies if not much sense.... G' night for now and hope this find you well :-))
