54.Report - Sleeping places

It sounds hard to imagine, but it's true: I don't worry about places to sleep anymore.

 

Sleeping place: Below one
big plastic tarp, a yoga mat 
on top, there between a 
thin blanket.
Vestis serve as bed sheets - 
in the back a small pillow.
Every night there is a temple, a school, a public building where I can sleep safely, well and deeply.

 

Sometimes wealthier people invite me to their homes. But I feel that such nice and quite comfortable invitations are somehow a burden. Is it a secret fear in the hosts or in me that their trust becomes abused? Or is it the different cultural expectations of such a foreign guest?

 

Honestly, sleeping outside on my mat is great. The only important thing is that it is neither too cold nor too hot. If there is a water tap somewhere nearby or a place to swim – great.

 

Sometimes people warn me that thieves might steal something in the night. Yeah... that's happened before. But - oh, I'm tired of imagining bad people or theoretical dangers.

 

I just have to smile. It's a proven rule of life: if I'm afraid that something might happen or that people are bad, then it will happen. And when I trust people to be helpful and kind, it happens. And when I treat myself well, others treat me with respect.

 

It is so easy. It works!
