OUT OF THIS WORLD

Today I am moving again. Total moves in 2005 = 6. Seven homes in one year = a little over 52 days in each place. Each move = about 1 week cleaning the place up and arranging my things. Approximate time spent away from home and travelling in 2005 = 9 weeks. Therefore, actual amount of average time spent in one place = about 36 days

When I met HH Sridhara Swami a couple of years ago at Bhaktivedanta Manor, he asked me about my situation and after I explained it he said “You move around more than me!” That was at a time when I really had no fixed abode and I was wandering from one place to the next more frequently than I am now. The thing is, I actually want to stay in one place, but I can’t seem to manage it. Like now, I could just stay at my father’s house but I have already lost weight since I arrived here due to the fact that I can’t cook in the kitchen without having to go through a whole ordeal. I had to leave the last place because there was no longer any space for me there and I had to leave the place before that because I was thrown out and I had to move out from the place before that because someone else bought the place from the owner.

If I had the money I would just stay in one place, so the solution seems to lie in getting a job. There are postdoctoral positions currently available in the UK, Germany, France and the USA. Only Krishna knows where and when I will move next, or at least I hope He knows.
