A Stay With Gossamer

Sunday, October 18, 2009


I had arranged to stay with a friend for a couple of days and so I left Byron having only put my feet in the water, literally. Named Gossamer, she lives in Surfers paradise and welcomed me into her home. If when travelling you get the chance to stop at a friends DO IT! I can’t express how helpful it is to get out of hostels just for a couple of nights, staying at hostels is great for socialising and adventuring but every now and then you need a bit of space. This is exactly what I got, wonderful it was. While I was there she fed me tons of food, gave me some interesting insights into my soul, the meaning of life and showed me the lookout that looks over the Gold Coast, it’s quite a view. It was a bizarre experience; her house is small and cosy, crystals everywhere and a washing machine that threatens to tear down the house every cycle and I had my own room, which was wonderful, space and time to chill out and edit my film, which I hadn’t had before, in hostels it’s practically impossible. But we also started one of her sessions, which I wont go into in total detail as I don’t know a huge amount about it, I just know its like a psychic journey or something, tough to explain.

If you think this psychic kind of stuff is rubbish, feel free to go talk to a wall for all I care. The session was pretty powerful, not like a normal session (what’s a normal session anyway), it was like a huge energetic shift, so I went from being exhausted from all the people and places and madness, thinking I was getting a rest, to having a totally different type of ordeal whilst recovering from the first.

Yeah so I guess its pretty obvious I’m a fan of all this mumbo jumbo, some of my friends call it voodoo, some call it crap but hey what do I care, I do Shiatsu and Reiki so the odd soul journey is perfectly normal for me. Call me weird but I even like healthy eating, I know how crazy is that! All my friends naturally think I am severely unhinged due to my enjoyment of real food and wanting to keep my body relatively alive at such a young age, I mean surely I should wait until I have bowel cancer, gallstones and heart failure at least before I consider eating something that’s coloured green, what possible use could it be to start being healthy now! Ok so recently, on my mothers orders please note, I bought a big pot of powdered greens, perhaps going a little far maybe, but I don’t think so. The taste naturally isn’t quite caviar, almost as disgusting though, but it is remarkably useful for someone like me who can feel it if I have eaten too much greasy rubbish or only meat for the past few days, it’s like getting all your veg. in one shot.

So Gossamer took care of me for a few days and then sent me on my way feeling rested from my overwhelm of hostels and people, and overwhelmed at my new found bits of soul knowledge or whatever just happened. I headed up to Brisbane, or rather she drove me there, which was very sweet of her, and we managed to get lost in the crazy one-way system of Brisbane’s streets always having the hostel in sight just not being able to reach it!
