Ganesha, Dear Friend (from openbuddha.com)
Making a list of Tasks & Things To Do to prepare for South+East Asia trip planning. It’s in less than 8 weeks! Wow! I think I was still settling in from San Cristobal voyage, but now, I’ve got to keep the momentum going and continue with taking care of details for the next South+East journey. HERE WE GO!
SPRINGTIME EMERGE(N)SEE!
SOUTH+EAST ASIA!
1) Renew passport! (ASAP!!!)
Arriving in the next week or so (05.16.09)! Happiness!
Arrived yesterday in the mail! The same night as I buy the tickets, without knowing the passport renewal was inside my mailbox!? Co-in-ci-dence!
2) Take passport pics (AAA office closeby?)
3) Consult doctor for any shots, etc. (Ask Frank too!)
4) Budget, budget, budget!
5) Contact Kechara House if Tsem Tulku Rinpoche will be offering dharma talks during the month of July. Thanks for getting in touch Beng.
6) Coordinate with any summer time professional development opportunities? I don’t know what’s up with this!?
7) Packing? Sleeping bag? Clothes?
7B) What’s up with the bahay?
Visas?
9) Get tips about Nepal from Jhampa at Tibet Gift House?
10) GET TICKET!!! (Travelocity?)
Finalized purchase on 5.11.09 — rejoice!
11) Apply for rewards-type credit card? (Delta, Diners, Travelocity, etc.)
Will be looking closely at finances before I leave, but all is well.

South+East
Taking a walk inside and out
in the direction of South+East
to embrace the Path that has also
been seeking me.
The gateway’s opening reveals itself
in the direction of the South+East
and I step inside gently, with a knowing
that the open seat is for me. All that is outside the gateway
is also already inside of me. Inside the gateway,
I can touch the outside with a different kind of intimacy.
