Good Morning Humanity

Steven Colbert calls his studio audience, 'nation' so I thought I'd go a step further and call youall, 'humanity' as I said the other day that I considered this blog my 'service to humanity' I'm kidding, of course but actually Swami does want us to be more inclusive and omnipresent in scope. I'm still kidding but at least it is kidding in the right direction .

I found my final resting place, yesterday, MY LITTLE CAVE . Well actually I wasn't able to see one of the flats but we should know about these things. Its called HUD federal housing section 8 in the States. I think I'll pause here and get a little more information on google before I write this. I'll be right back.

OK so you can google for all of this information. Access HUD, click on the state where you want to live and then click on the town or community. I don't know about 'waiting lists' but it seems to me you can put in more then one application at a time, for more than one place....and then wait.

My sister and I went to Peterborough yesterday in St. Petersburg Florida.. It was a dream come true.

I think one of the reasons I had to leave India was because I was worried about the end of my life. Nursing Homes are few and far between in India and they aren't for long term care anyway. Indian families are becoming more westernized but most Indians do take care of their elderly members and that is why there aren't so many old age homes. My brains seem to be getting a little confused lately and so I was worried. If I had had a stroke who would have taken care of me. A long time ago I worked in a nursing home and I remember the stark fear written on the faces of those who had had strokes and were now mute. I couldn't help but imagine myself in a bed somewhere in India. Or what about Alzheimer? I would definitely need a lot of help.

The rent on Section 8 housing is 30 percent of your income. There is a living room and a bedroom...450 sq. feet with kitchen. They feature wall to wall carpets. Central heat and air, range, frost free refrigerator and cable TV outlets. There is an in each flat and a daily check, water, sewage trash removal and pest control. The front desk is open 24 hours a day with a wellness center and a social services coordinator. Weekly bus transportation to the market and lots of activities are planned each week plus an emergency pull cord And as if that weren't enough there is a wellness clinic there and you can have a pet. Really its like someone just made up the American Dream for the elderly. Outings are planned every week and I'll bet thry take you to the beach too.

It sounds like heaven but you can assume there will be lots of difficulties as Swami will not allow us to stagnate without lots of testing. I have to stop right now as I have a headache, Oh and if you need nursing care you can hire a nurse or even a maid to sweep the floor.

I could be the recluse I've always wanted to be or visit with the other little old ladies. I doubt if there will be any Sai Baba people there but you never know. There aren't any here either. Sounds great, doesn't it?

I would not go as long as my angelic sister wants me here with her and in that iventuallty I might even find section 8 housing in California as my precious neice Bethia, they are all named Bethia, Bethia is in Fullerton and really wants me to come. I would be close to many California Sai folks there in Fullerton as Tustin is right near. Thing is my Swami lives so deeply here in my heart that I really don't need to have Him outside too. Its even a bit difficult sharing my inner Swami with anyone out there,
