The Journey Back to Hawaii

I am glad I listened to the advice that was given to me to go to the airport very early. There are no machines to go thru everything is done by people. Bags are checked 4 or 5 times then you have the x-ray area. Lots of lines to stand in. By coming early the lines were short and got very crowded 30 minutes after I was there. The plane was delayed 2 and ½ hours because of a light sensor. Just when the pilot was going to say we need a new plane the problem was fixed. During the wait I gave my inside seat up to a woman who wanted her husband to sit next to her during the flight. She ended up helping me with my bags and get to the van at our layover in New York….kindness returned.

The result of this delay was I missed my connection to the Denver airport where I would have had a 10 hour night layover. Not something I was really looking forward to and was ready to crash on the airport floor if I had to. But I didn’t have to. The delay made me miss this part of the journey. I got to go to a nice hotel for the short night, had a nice hot shower..it was 32 degrees in New York….warm bed and 2 food vouchers for the next day. I was rerouted and got to skip Denver all together which made me very happy. The delay turned out to be very positive. It was here that I learned that the store was closed for most of the month of Feb.

I just took a lot of deep breaths and figured I would be working a lot to make up for the store being closed..Hence no business. I had faith that no matter what happened the Divine would work it out and everything would end up OK. The drama was just beginning. I did my best to maintain a detached out look and made myself go to bed for there was nothing I could do till I got back home. I did my best not to think about this too much and watched movies on the many flights I had.

Part 6 will be my challenges I had to go thru during the month of March. I will say I have had happier homecomings. The initiation did not go away when I got back home and if anything was amped up. Spirit really tested me to the max. It reminded me of what happens after you see Sai Baba in India. You receive all this Divine grace and karma burning…a real spiritual high. Then you get back home and what is waiting for you is a lot of hard challenges to overcome and get through. Many people have chosen not to go back and see Sai baba in India because of these experiences.

All my bubbles of illusions that everything was OK was now being burst and I will be given a lot of chances to put everything I learned…or thought I learned into practice. And the rest for later..
