Rainbow gathering

Hello friends :)


Long time - no write. Well, when you are traveling much
it is difficult sometimes to get to the internet and espacially
when you are on things like rainbow gathering. It was in
Belgian forests, close to french border and close to Luxemburg.

My very good friend - Alina invited me there after we separated
with Dina, since I had time, no money and no other idea I said
yes. Now it is over and we are back in Gent, so I can from this
perspective say what it was like, what has happened and how
it felt.

First, I had and still do resistance to the material discomfort,
we were sleeping in a tent and there was no toilets, just kind
of 'shit pit'. If you wanted to wash your clothes or your body
you had to do it in the river which was usually cold, but still
I managed to do it three or four times in period of two weeks.
With clothes it wasnt working anyway because it was not
allowed to use soap in the river for eco purposes. What was good?

Well, lots of beautiful, open people, who live alternative lifestyles,
mostly traveling, many art people and of course spiritual people too.
Fire was burning almost all the time and was kind of center of the
gathering, there we ate together food twice a day. Gathering was
supported by the means of 'magic hat' which means you can give
what you have and want to give. I loved the beauty of place, wild
forest, silence and morning sunshine spreading on the leaves and
water. I loved dancing and singing, sometimes music was better
then in other times because rotation of people on such an event is
quite big, some come just for an evening, others just for one day,
some for all the month.

With relations nothing happened so far, I had some expectations
that maybe my friend would be interested but it seems that she
likes me precisely because I don't have them - or didnt have them
in the past. There was many hugs, some cold, uncomfortable nights,
some friendly hands - I got tent and jacket from one friend and
warm sweater from another. We did some healing singing in a circle
which I liked very much and felt it inside my body very good, it
was to sing name of person which was laying in the middle of the
circle to give her/him attention and presence conected with sound.

Like for me there was still too much cigaretes and grass but yeah,
these are mostly hippie, earth people, you cant expect always
perfection :)

Now, being in some university computer depot I consider to
look for some work in Gent or go soon to France again to some
center where they also help childeren, somehow I had difficulty
to find their website on the net, so maybe my choice becomes
more and more limited.

In any case, let the love rules!
