    Had an interesting experience bringing
    back the bone beater on the plane. The
    mack truck of a security guard called
    me over and asked if he could open the
    wrapping and take a look, “what’s a
    girl like you doing carrying a machete?”
    I laughed and told him it was a bone
    beater, the other security misunderstood
    and said “what a wife beater!”. It ended
    up that I had 4 security guards beating
    on their bones and saying “this feels
    goooood”, then they rewrapped it up for
    me very nicely, handed it back and sent
    me on my way. Thanks for all your help
    and advice, I am so glad I was able to
    attend the retreat, but am excited to be
    practicing alone again and see what has
    changed.

    hugs,
    Adel

    Hi Adel,

    That’s hilarious!!!
    Michael would be amused to hear about that.
    I’ll have to mention it to him, if he doesn’t first read your post.

    I’m glad you had a great time here ^_^

    You’ll have to come back again sometime . . .

    Hopefully your time here will give you some good inspiration and
    food for future personal practice, and that the insects
    won’t drive you too crazy. 🙂

    Warm wishes,
    Steven

    I forgot to explain that the
    bone beater had looked like
    a machete on the xray machine
    screen. I am already planning
    on how to schedule my spending
    in order to save for next year.
    I bought a lot this time but I
    want to slowly start the fusion
    practices so all is good investment
    (I don’t buy clothes or anything
    anymore, just chi kung stuff…..).

    The bugs are ok so far but I had
    to get a huge crab out of the
    washing machine duct today at home.

    many thanks,
    Adel

    I bet the crab was happy to see you;
    a personal welcome home perhaps?

    In regard to saving, what I do, is I have a separate savings account
    called “Healing Tao”, which I add extra funds to
    on a semi-regular basis (sort of like a “Christmas” fund),
    so that I then have a reserve saved up for summer retreat fun.
    I do the same thing to save for my yearly winter hermit retreat.

    Qi,
    Steven
