Hungry heat

It is grey, cloudy, windy, cool and miserable at El Triple, Baja California, Mexico.
And that is great.
Because today the Fuso Szulc will leave the location it has been for over 33 days to head for the city of La Paz.
A three hour drive.
From the boondocks to where they walk dogs.

The last days have been peculiar.
Supplies had been running extremely low.
Very few fruit and vegetables left.
No more cheese, honey and juice.
The Queen of Dreams had to highly improvise every night to put a decent dinner on the table.
This situation was often discussed and contemplated.
With as a result that several times a day a feeling of hunger was revolting in the body.
Feeling hungry while the amount of food being put into the body was almost similar as in days of sufficient supplies.
It was therefore just a psychological matter.
Thinking the fridge was almost empty and realizing some regular food items missing, made the mind push the thought to feel hungry.

But that will soon be all over.
This afternoon the supermarkets of La Paz will come into sight.
And all those items that had been so sourly missed over the last weeks will be purchased.

But then a new missing will be created.
Right now, at El Triple next to the Pacific Ocean, temperatures are maximum about 24º C (75º F) because of the very cool ocean and breeze.
However in La Paz, it will be 36º C (97º F): hot and steamy.
While believing living in a sauna, thoughts will return to the cool temperatures of El Triple.

This is how our minds twist and turn.
Making us feel hungry and longing for coolness.

So then Osho comes along.
And with him, hundreds of other enlightened persons during the last thousands of years.
Who all say, stay in the moment.
If it is hot, experience the heat and forget of how it is somewhere else.
And if you eat normal quantities, forget about the empty fridge.
You are not somewhere else or in another time.
You are here and now.
Even when it is hot, Osho?
Deodorize.
Even when there is no cheese?
Say cheese.
