Of an early death
showing no awareness
the cicada sings


These lines remember me on the early death of my daughter  23. January this year. On her death bed she still whisped: “I’m happy to leave you with such a good woman.” But this journey gives me the feeling, that my life is not designed to be friends with people – no matter with gender. Yes, the Master “softly intoned the celebrated haiku” and surely his voice was sweet and his face was smiling. But, but, but: This kind of softly mastery is not part of my being, my conditioning, my feeling, my behaviour! The Master influences his disciples by his heart touching friendliness. Deep down dumb disciples wait till the Master dies and iobserve, f this guy looses his smile and friendliness. My daughter died like a smiling Master. Innocently she enjoyed the last sweets, her loving and caring father brought as last presents to thank her for the time together.

But with this woman on the journey by my side the feelings are different. The feelings to all people in my life are different, and the feelings are in such a way, that there is no longing to meet more people or to stay a longer time with people.

Last chance at the sea: View to Rijeka from Lovran

This woman Mimamai was fighting with the heat in her body by opening the windows of her car. Noice and storm entered my silent space to disturb my peace. Sitting in little restaurants, even relaxing on the Camping Place, this my woman Mimamai complained about the smokers next to her. Next to her means 30 to 50 meters away as well. This woman Mimamai complains about a short distance drive from Slenj to Medjeva about 70 Kilometers, crossing the big town Rijeka in the traffic jam safely. This woman Mimamai felt exhausted by travelling and was nagging about “Camping Hopping”. This woman Mimamai was continuously cleaning with her brush the ground floor of her Sea Cow, we both pay together. This woman Mimamai is nagging, when my way to travel alone brings back her car with sand of sea or earth traces of the mountains. A so called “friend” from Hamburg, Thomas, is disappointed to read about my travel experiences and wants more informations directly from Mimamai in a strange "Satsang" forum. This forum people started tired of the repressive Satsang-Forum "erwachen.com".

As if Thomas ever has or had another motivation to meet people for these three rough reasons only:

1. Thomas is looking for someone to donate him money.

2. Thomas is looking for a female, giving him her grace to teach body love.

3. Thomas is looking for someone, who teaches him to sell Satsang.

These lines are the last ones, written for people like Thomas, another typical victim of Bhagwan spiritual conditioning. My life is utterly tired of such sort of most miserable beggars, even Thomas has some remarkable qualities of living his misery with a shine of glory: Like in a deep dumb drunkenness he masturbates with spiritual or sexual web-entertaining – free of charge naturally.

Concerning my Mimamai she can pay and work for herself and her “Sea Cow”. My legs and life feels still strong enough to start something of my own. This journey, this travel in tension, opens up another chapter of experience: The qualitiy to be on my own - valuable in this angry mood of the moment only!

There have been several loving peaceful places on our journey: Omis, Slano, Taostrog and Senj. Leaving the plastic entertainment big biz Dubrovnik on Sunday this 35 Kilometers to Slano would have been enough to find more peace inside. But Mimamai was in hurry. So she doesn’t want to rest again after half hour journey only. Afraid of her moods she got her will to find the next place Taostrog. Taostrog was beautiful too, next to sea, connected with the web, but one night of thunderstorm made us leave again. So many chances we have missed. After our third visit to Medveja, opposite to Rijeka, we are on the high way home. Cold autumn rain falls. The mountains are surrounded by grey clouds, looking like grumpy doters with grey hair in bad mood of nastiness. With this symbol my last travel report from this journey ends. And it looks like the last journey together with this woman Mimamai!



Mima's last bath in the sea: Medveja


But let’s face the facts, the material grounds: Life without her would be expensive, much more expensive. To drive another Camping Van costs much more. That is not easy to afford, specially when my job in partial retirement reduces my income from December. My Mimamai woman would have to pay more and to work harder, to pay all expenses for her “Sea Cow” all alone. So we better arrange life in peace together again after our times of troubles. It helps to walk alone for one day on our way back. We rest in Austria, somewhere before Salzburg, the region is called “Flachau”. That means flat plain. For hours in the silent woods some healing peace helps to relax. A fat mother cow shelters her breed. A butterfly rests in the autumn afternoon. Water flows so clean, that it is to drink. It feels more like home agin. An interesting Austrian radio feeds my mind in the early evening, dark at 8.00 p.m. These lines can be written silently down on the ground, because Mima doesn’t dare to complain about the soft light of the computer screen. Rain drops play a soft, sweet music on the windows and the roof of our rolling home. It is still warm enough inside. A glass of Croatian red wine from a bottle some hundred kilometres south helps to celebrate these precious last moments of our journey and to find peace again with myself and my woman. The seat on the ground isn’t comfortable. But a trained body, who took the last bath in the Mediterranean Sea at Medveja this morning and a second bath in the cold Austria bath lake here in Flachau after 400 Kilometres, such trained body isn’t addicted to luxury. It’s luxury enough to travel

A sleepless night at Flachau (Austria): After a morning bath in this cold lake
and an ardous quarrel we find back to peace again.
