Yes this means I have found housing. Did so before Christmas break, It is a little apartment with two bedrooms rooms, a small bathroom; a toilette, yes these things are separate in France (really smart actually means you can go to the toilette while some one else is using the bathroom) and a small kitchen. I share it with Julien a musician who so far seems really cool and is happy to have an Anglophone in the house to read over his lyrics. I told him I would be only to glad to so if he was willing to read over my papers. The apartment is on the last story, so we have only one apartment over us under the roof, which means we get lots of light and a nice breeze. The floors are polished hard wood, and the furnishings minimal but I like that sometimes. Only sad thing is that ever corner has either a door, one of two closet doors, or a heater, which means my bed, will be away from the wall. And I do not have a nice corner for my altar. I am looking for a small table to put it on and I will probebly put it in the corner by the heater but bed side tables are hard to find in thrift store, but it will go in a place of honer in the new abode. But that will all be worked out and I will soon be well installed, moving the last of my stuff and the bed that my host parents are loaning me tonight. Last thing about living situation and then on to recounting the holidays, I will not have internets so up dates will become less frequent but I will still be checking my Email about once a week. I am actually happy to be away from the Internets and such, I think I will make a consious effort to put the time that I would usualy spend on line towards meditation and working on my magic, and of course sketching and gathering ideas for things to make.
I have been takeing alot of time to leditate and think about life and awereness and magic. this is good and I am making slow progress back to the plae that I should be at this point. It feals good to be able to do things like tell when people have been in a room while I was gone, or tuched my stuff. Its good.
Christmas break was one of the most peaceful and relaxed and best that I have spent since I have started having Christmas breaks. I got to go to Germany and spend time with my aunts, uncles, and cousins, and my grandma. Highlights of the trip included getting to know all of them again since the last time I saw them was 5 years ago, walking on a frozen lake, beautiful that, never had an experience like and hope to have many more like it. It was such a magical feeling to walk on watter and feal a lake under neath you in a way that you sualy never get to. Then I went to sweden. Sweden is a country that grabbed me and I will try very hard to go back to it. The forests are carpeted in moss that you sink into up to your ankle, its emerald green and almost seems to glow. It is the kind of place you only read about in books, and I really want to see it in summer. It was also disquieting to be there, when I got the one the 1st there was no snow, and temperatures were way to high to be normal, and yet our president is still saying that global warming does not exist. In Sweden I stayed with old friends of Katzi and David’s who have a daughter who is 20 and is studying product design so myself her and her boyfriend spent the entire time geeking about art, music and candles. We also talked alot about pagan folk, and read runes and had a generaly happy time. In cludeing two saunas that I really needed.
But yes Life is good here, I start classes again next week, two weeks intensive language again and then after a week more of break then the semester starts for real.
I started a fast today and think it will be really good for me, it comes at a good time and I really need the clensing. The fun part will be explaning to my new housemate.
Hugs to all, even though I did spend one of the best holeday times of my life those of you that I did not see were missed very much.
