Adventures in Abbotsford

rain 2 °C

Sleeping on a shitty matress on a hardwood floor.
The sink drains into a pail.
The heat is off.
The house is built of art.
Wonderful live music presently fills my ears and shakes my seat from the other room.
This place is wonderful. Been staying with a friend of Doug, Dustin. Wonderful people. All of them.
Manic. Driven. Bound to be sucessful.
Sat in on an Eastern religion class yesterday at the university college here in Abbotsford. Made me realize it has been years since I have set foot in a classroom. The whole happening was seeping with sychronicities in the most wonderful of ways.
Went out with Dustin for a little drive out to Mount Sumas today to see his folks place. Everything is flooding quite severly out there, fences submerged, waters rising across roads in some places. beautiful county out here though... Saw the Fraser river through the misty rain...
Ate at a local Sikh temple for dinner this evening... that was a first for me. remove your shoes and wash your feet... wrap your head in paisley and eat wonderful (and free of charge) curry food, taking seat on the floor. Wonderful experience. They'll be seeing me again.
All in all, a nice first gear to get this adventure into motion.
