An Authentic Life 1.1 for pdf - Universalist Radha-Krishnaism

The ambulance took us to an emergency room
where my arm was put in an elastic bandage and
sling. We took a bus to the apartment we were going
to look at on California Street and rented it. We made
love on the hideaway bed that came with the apartment.
When I put weight on my wrist, I blacked out
on top of her. The next day, I had my wrist set and put
in a cast. We moved our things into the new apartment
before Richard got back.
I was unable to work for several weeks and
collected worker's compensation. We spent our days
smoking and doing acid while listening to Dylan, Indian
ragas, and Jefferson Airplane. We explored the
outer reaches of the mind and enjoyed the heavenly
pleasures of tripped out tantric sex as the two of us
became one.
When my wrist mended, I returned to the post
office, and Carolyn also got a job there. We decided to
save for a trip to Yucatan Mexico where we could live
as hermits in the jungle. We adopted a macrobiotic
diet and flew kites from our rooftop feeling renewed
youthful exuberance. At City Lights Bookstore, we
bought a number of books on Asian spirituality to
take with us.
We reduced our possessions to what fit in our
packs and boarded a Greyhound. The ride down the
California coast was so smooth, it seemed like we
were sitting still watching a movie go by. We made
love in the back of the bus with Carolyn sitting on my
lap.
