Journey to London

[alfonsox]

Woke up this morning (or was it yesterday morning?) and did NOT want to go travelling. Just wanted to stay at home and nest. Didn't want to have to function at the level necessary for travel abroad. Didn't want to be alone in a foreign country, dealing

To visit the Temple, the nearest mainline station is Wimbledon and then take the 93 bus towards Putney. Alight at stop at common. Alternately
use District line to Putney Bridge where the 93 bus can be taken towards Cheam again alight at common stop. (just after Parkside hospital)

I'm guessing it's too late now, actually. Not sure when you're leaving London...

[alfonsox]

No, it's not too late! That's a great tip. It's not far from where I'm staying and they have a Thursday night sit & dharma talk. I'm planning on attending this evening. Thank you so much for the suggestion sweetie!

Just let yourself be with this. And remember not to anticipate the loneliness. This journey is different already in that you did not plan it. Let it be different. Let it show you what you will discover.

On the other hand, it is absolutely nerve wracking to not have plans. Hopefully you get a little rest in Wimbledon.

Thanks for the good advice Pony. I tend to fixate on the loneliness when it appears and ignore everything else. I certainly am wedded to the idea that I am alone.

Bye, bye Pants! Keep my little black baby well worshiped for me! Remind her that this will only be a couple of weeks. Love you muchly.
