Hey Mccoy, you've seen some beautiful parts of this country, some places I haven't been to, but I was married young and struggled for many years just to keep food on the table so didn't have the opportunity of travel. A fellow devotee who I met last year is an author and was going to Kakadu for 3 months, living in a caravan and writing her next novel which will be set in the area.

Political views are just as multivarious among Yogananda's devotees as they are in the wider world. Pragmatic to one will seem extreme to the next. But that is more to do with our individual filters. I'm naturally left leaning but my grandmother who was very right wing helped me to understand both sides. I was very close to her and her contacts high up in previous conservative governments here helped me out of one or two very tricky situations not of my own making (in this life at least). One involved identity theft where the person who did it used my name to set up a business and ripped the government of for a lot of money. Since then I try to see things much more from a level playing field as wonderful politicians are found on both sides of the political divide, as well as some average ones and then the  ones left floundering. Just like life in general strangely enough.

Enough of my musings, it is a delight to have you two guys to touch base with. Whereabouts in Italy are you from Mccoy? Do you follow the tennis? Sinner from Italy is a wonderful player and could well win our Australian Open for the second year in a row.
