CHAPTER 13

Relativity of Time

Waving to Sarah, as we pull out of the driveway and out onto the street, I smile and look at the brightness surrounding the jeep as we drive down the road. I want to be sure to note the difference of the landscape, as we go through the tunnel back into the ‘real world’.

“How often do you have visitors, Maria,” I ask.

“Not often,” she says. “It has been near fifteen years since the last one.”

“The Guru?” I ask, and she nods.

I look forward to getting back to town. We have decided to stay longer at the community. Two nights was not enough. I haven’t even had a chance to delve into the origins of the name for the community and if, in fact, a rose petal had any part in their society. These woman have not mentioned the rose, nor have I seen one here.

Yesterday, we had played with the children; brought a fish back to life; helped in the fields; and helped prepare a meal. That night we had sat in a circle; sung to the stars; and grounded into the earth. We had also swum together in the river. The day had literally flown by in what seemed like moments, not twenty-four long hours.

I needed to get to town for wi-fi to call Joe, and discuss the Community with him. I had spoken to Maria, but more about what the community I am a part of is doing. Maria, and the other women, had agreed to have those of us who wanted to come and stay with them, to do so.

It was not safe for us any more in the outside world, and we wanted to help to expand the vibration, or consciousness, on the planet. A vote had been taken by the women, and it was agreed that, under the current climate and circumstances we were being faced with, it was okay for a few men to come into the community. The mission path of the two communities is similar enough.

As we drive out of the mountain tunnel, I see the landscape has changed. The jungle is less colorful and less vibrant than in the community, and far fewer species of plants can be seen.

I think of Joe, and am excited that I will be able to talk to him, shortly. As we get closer to town, I look at my phone and see it has a signal. Knowing I easily get car sick, it takes all I have not to call him as we are still moving.

I jump out of the jeep, and Maria parks it, as I call Joe.

“Maria, are you okay?” Joe asks.

“Yes, I’m fine. Just back, and calling to check in,” I say.

“We were all worried. I’m here, in town, in Sulawesi,” he says.

“Worried? What! You are here?” I exclaim.

Maria is walking toward the general store, and I see Joe standing outside of it. He sees me, as I see him.

Running to each other, we embrace.

“Joe. How on earth did you get here in two days?” I ask.
