Day 24 Lapouze, a little village in the Dordogne with Yannick

It was a great journey to find Yannick! Even leaving Paris took me the whole morning, i was just turning in big circles around Bois Colombes, la Defense, which made me think of my former job at ING. Just as I had decided to call the yogi?s who i know in Paris, Yannick sents me an sms asking when I am coming. As I only get answering machines, I decide to leave to the Dordogne. It is already 14.30 and i have 500 km to drive. Listening to the Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho, made this trip very pleasant and it does not bother me a bit that i get lost in space and have to drive such a long distance, the surroundings are beautifull, the people who try to help me are very nice, I even have 3 police agents escort me to help me find the road again.

The last part is the hardest, i have to laugh about myself and also get a bit irritated, as i did not prepare myself completly... I have everything to make it easy for myself, in potential, a map, but Lapouze is not on it, I have a N95, but I have not yet downloaded the maps, I have a location of google maps, but i did not print it, and did not put it on my screen, the battery of my laptop is empty, my telephone does not have any connecion.. so i am just driving around and asking the sweet people to help me?. In the end, i calm down, put the car aside and do my best to get connection to the network with my phone, call yannick and have him pick me up! in the end i made it! we have a beautiful dinner, made by his 80 year old French neighbour. I drink wine, since a long time and allthough i have been awake since 4.44 this morning, drove almost all day, i am still not tired! Green energy is flowing trough me...

It is lovely to be outside, smelling the grass, the flowers, listening to the animals, again a kookoo, the third one this trip. As we go to bed so late, i put my alarm a bit later then usual, but my intention is straight this time, i am going to do the sadhana, no doubt about it, this makes it so much easier in the morning.. i am happy!
