in their infinite wisdom the universe created beauty, and this is where i reside, the gentle breeze crosses through the trees straight into mission control, the sound of water running and the stillness all add to the tranquility. 
i take a drive with pan, we have to explore the area, i take a left at the x roads, head down a winding road, discover the dog cleaning place and take pan in for a clean, we buy some dog treats and i ask the vet about a place called buddha garden which i heard is someplace i would like. it turns out he owns it, plus he's a reader and reading a book we discuss. i'm impressed by how friendly everyone is up here, so very different from sydney.
the drive to the buddha garden is lovely, a country road on a beautiful day, we pass wineries and farms and when i walk into the gardens, wow, it's balinese influence is gorgeous, immediately i am at home here, i talk to the lady who runs the healing centre, i see some visionary art, i discuss music and plants and drink a perfect coffee. oh yes this is a fantastic place, i'll post pictures tomorrow.
