RE: The Bus that Never Went: Rolling Home Dreaming

in #vanlife6 years ago

Rant all you want, I feel you! So much money and resources need to be redirected to help the victims of wars not the self-claimed "winners".

Anyway as you know, I've had to go see with my own eyes the full spectrum of that aspect of our human condition. It's not pretty and it's forever etched in my heart, helps me stay focused on how to pay it forward in life though and share love and joy instead.

Yes community, even in the smaller niches of lifestyles like mine are so important. I'm all about holding space for people to be accepted and unconditionally loved, why else do we yearn to come together and connect?

We've also drifted apart a little from our usual tribe living and it's actually getting really exciting that we are now planning our next moves and contacting all our old friends we will visit on the way.

Oh and this time we all have a cool online community to share and steem it with lol! So yeah, looking forward to continue on our adventures and read about yours.

Oh and I vote Dad for holiday season, make the most of your time together and English spring and summer is way more pretty right? All those berries!

Big love to you too, I'm gonna have to catch up with some of your new blogs eh? Lol sorry to keep dragging you all the way back here hahaha! But it's been nice to hang back out of the spot light a bit and get to know ya.

Chat soon :)

It is really nice actually ... some of the crew that run these groups are far to busy to talk to likes of me. Its kinda one of the things i dont like about the platform sometimes as everyones far too busy to take the time to really get to know you. But of course there are many exceptions 💚💚💚

How long were you in the army? How did that happen? Its all a totally foreign concept to me so Im quite interested. Dont feel yiu have to though.

Its going to be wierd qithout Jamie here at Chrissy. It will be the first year in 15 we have done this but he really misses his mum and sister. Theyll talk ten to the dozen about landrovers, geology, archaelogy, weather and everything you could think of non stop for days. If he could type and was into expressing himself in that way he would be a great Steemian.

English summer is awesome.. but J gets awful hayfever! We are up for long service leave soon .. well.. now!.. so we can plan a big trip. I want to do India Burma Thailand route and maybe Portugal Morroco.. if we head as far as UK. Prob 2019 we will have 7 months off and one pay check so we will see!!! It was going to be next year but we thought if we do one more year we will quit anyway. Xx

Unconditional love is rare but a beautiful beautiful intention. I kinda throw love in all directions.. very much who I am.. and try not to get too sad when it doesnt come back ... !!! Maybe thats just tapping into old conditioning.

Love to you amd your BEAUTIFUL ones x

I agree and I feel same, perhaps why @SMG has remained a smaller group and we're in no hurry to grow huge numbers. We like the family vibe, not so business-ey lol. Anyway yea army was a court order 6 months conditional probation, though once I was in I stayed in 7 years fully brain washed. Not the greatest phase of my journey, one that had to be done and seen none the less.

Looking forward to your big trip no matter what you do, exciting! Also at least you will have a home to come back to. That was one of our hardest things being fully nomadic was having no base camp whatsoever and that definitely plays on the tension and emotions in during the more challenging uncertainties lol. All for the greater good though, we grew so close from it and our bond is strong.

To contrast a little though, my be-life is that unconditional love is not rare at all. I feel it is the basic human condition, that once we strip down and really get naked with ourselves as well as how we see others, well it's right there, it's who we be. Sure the knocks and bumps and mainly fears along the road dishearten sometimes and that leads to the less pretty aspects of human behavior but come on.. it's undeniable when we look at the babies, these young masters we can all learn from ❤️💯

Yeah that's what we thought, we'd rent this place out just in case. Can always sell if something else comes up.

Oh yes - babies do love unconditionally, for sure!!! xx

If trials bring your love closer, then it's meant to be. Now i'm looking back on 15 years together and I couldn't imagine life without him. We work and grow together xxx

Right now im in the bus chilling... it feels like im on the road!! Bliss.

Still dont know why uploads from pjone go sideways...

Ahaha @iamjamie has the same thing with her pics.. she changes the pic in her phone to correct the orientation and then re-uploads the file. So hers usually come out upside down, so she flips it and saves it in her phone upside down and loads the upside down one to fix it lol.

Enjoy snuggling in your old bus xo

I send it to facebook self via messenger then copy and paste on pc from there!!!
