I heard a great quote this morning on Garrison Keilor’s “the writer’s alminac’. It was from Bertrand Russell the 19th centrury matematician and philospher who’s birthday falls today. Rsussell said that ‘time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time’ .. I thought about that all day..  In fact I wasted a good deal of time thinking of that quote which I can say I very much enjoyed doing.
    Not much noteworthy to report today other than I drifted around in a pretty dreamy state.. I did manage to get hoem in time for Diane’s 6PM yoga class… This is the first Mondayn night yoga class I’ve been in for nearly 3 months !.. In fact.. I realized mid class that this is the first time I’d been upstairs in the yoga studio in nearly 3 months. I stll get major time warps liek that since returnign from the Colony.
   Speakign of the Colony.. I had a peculiar dream last night  that mixed The Colony, our new friend

from Cambodia andSam. I dreamed that I was in 

the small town in Cambodia  that our new freind Khem came from. My freinds and I were trying to help them get a water purification 

system working.. (See my blog post from yesterday to see what that’s

about) .

Soem of our friends wanted us to just make it look like it would work.. but that

made me really mad.. We all worked to make something that really worked..

but of course it took time..At the same time, the kids 

from the village were climbing all over the water structure (.some long ‘Y’ 

shaped conduits made of wood ?)   Then.. we  heard music.. It was Sam 

playing guitar and all the kids went over and sat around him while he

played. He sounded great… I really miss his playing so much. We kept 

working and got the project finished.. then I went over to talk to Sam. he 

looked great and said he was fine…   Then I woke up. smiling..   

T
  he strange thing is when I woke it was 2AM.. My sciatic nerve told me that it wanted me to be awake at that point. I got up and went into the bathroom o look for some  advil. I turned on the light, looked around and couldn’t find any.. oso I turned off the light  and walked back into my room.. I was abotu 10 feet back towrads my bed when the light in the bathroom turned back on…  pretty strange and amazing. Not sure what it meant.. but that made me happy too. I wlaked back in turned the light off again.. and went down stairs and walked around for an hour until I felt like goign back to sleep..
   It’s a strange world we live in.. isn’t it Sam ?
