Claudiu: To expand on ‘Vineeto’s’ experience “that ‘she’ was ready to give up anything and everything ‘she’ had valued” –
Vineeto: ‘Vineeto’ had returned to the remote wilderness where the houseboats were moored (still under the frightening impression that Richard had a “split-personality mental disorder” (see Announcement1, [R]-tooltip, [1]) to pack ‘her’ office paraphernalia and other necessities into the dinghy to take to a temporary location elsewhere until ‘she’ knew what to do next. She met the other two mutineers a few hundred meters upstream, only to then be informed they wanted to disassociate themselves from the whole affair right then and there and would not take ‘her’ in their car. So ‘Vineeto’ found ‘herself’ abandoned at nowhere in that ancient rainforest, her belongings in the dinghy, which at that point had run out of petrol, and stark naked (as everyone was on their holiday).
Claudiu: Haha reading this it did indeed paint an utterly hilarious picture particularly learning at the very last sentence that everyone was stark naked throughout
Hi Claudiu,
Ha, the fact that you are laughing perhaps means that ‘being naiveté’ is still to take another step. Remember, it is also called ‘birthday suit’.
Vineeto: Strangely enough, this last shocking turn of events, instead of freaking ‘her’ out, brought an unexpected calm, ‘she’ slipped into the warm water of the creek and, floating along, looked at the sky and her only thought was “if this is what it takes to become actually free so be it.”
Claudiu: This really conveys the willingness ‘Vineeto’ had to go all the way! Completely willing to give everything up, even apparently whatever sense of the world ‘she’ had made until then.
Yes, and not just the “sense of the world” but also ‘her’ possessions and presumed safe future … nothing, but nothing was more important than becoming actually free.
Claudiu: It readily explains why afterwards:
Vineeto: The last turn of events resulted in a surprising peacefulness after the emotion-filled events of the last two-and-a-half days – no more struggle, only the full permission and endorsement to let the universe run ‘her’ life, as all ‘she’ had tried had come to naught.
Claudiu: The time is ripe now for me to take full advantage of this easy access I find myself having to the benevolence of the universe, and let it take me away fully… (link)
Ah, this is music to my ears. You can learn from Kuba’s escapade not to get distracted … and never mind if you do – it is all part of the fun adventure.
Cheers Vineeto
