Karma Yoga. Circa 2008
So yeah. I’m goin’ again. Like me and my sis down the slide at our pool in Hawaii. Or the mummy ride at Universal. Gotta keep going…it’s exhilerating! Even when our bikini tops fly off. Can’t get enough of that.
Expensive? Hmmm…let’s examine this. Our American economy sucks royal Canuckian ass. Canadian dollar is worth more than ours. Raise=stunk. Bonus=double stunk. Savings=…Savings…Um…Savings? Yeah, uh. Nada. Care factor with regard to these responsible financial decisions?= Zero. (I throw pennies on the ground, too. Oh my!)
Get it? Got it? Goody. Because it ain’t about the moolah. It ain’t about the dough. It ain’t about the fact that I hadta to sink so low. I had to actually “request” the time off from…yeah. You know who. The woman who shant be named. But that my dears, is par for corporate American rule.
Too bad. I’m outta here. Nuttin’ gonna stop me. I’m goin’. I’m clopping, I’m cooking, I’m relaxing and forgetting. I’m not gonna hear or see or smell or taste or feel my means of gettin’ there, for two whole weeks. I’m gonna indulge in the silence and be away from the violence, for two whole weeks. I’m gonna play soccer and chef and cool and fool and Saint Aphrodite and Dee almighty, for two whole weeks. Two whole, organic-grass- fed-composting-granola-sniffing-firewood-lifting weeks, kids!
And when I return, I’ll be refreshed and rejuvenated and returned to my self. I’ll be all that because I was all there. She knows. She knows me. We know we. Really.
I got me some Karma Yoga-coins, y’all. And I’m spendin’ them with her, not at the mall. I’ll leave that for those who care ’bout those things. It just isn’t me-it just isn’t Dee. I go in through the back and exit the same, it’s been the same route for this 15 year game.
I’m goin’ back to Utopia, ticket in hand. My heart is my vessel, I’ll leave it unmanned.

No one deserves a vacation more than you Dee… Use it wisely! Play it smart and cool, and for God’s sake…Relax!

Relax, don’t do it, when you wanna go to it. Relax don’t do it when you wanna…
Thanks Dork-O, I will do just that.
