5 months has been passed since kandido went back to china, and now it's the time to leave.
5 months spent like a jellyfish, drift by underground currents here and there: dreams of love, sex, friendship, dreams of life. the life of jellyfish is beautiful: no worries, just let the tentacles spread and wait for the food, for mating, for traveling.
Dali, and china is the right place for being a jellyfish. here people takes the life as it comes. 5000 years of wisdom permeate this people through their language, their saying and their life style. in every chinese there is a little 5000 year old man that has observed life carefully. a little old man that smiles gently.
kandido, in his special position of nothingman, with no future and no plans, sees better the impermanence of every situation, of every plan.
like the monks who sit on the riverbanks, without moving he can observe life (sometimes). in this 5 month many thing started and many ended, many plans didn't realize, many expectations were deluded. many times what happened out of plan was considered a problem, but time passed by and actually the problem become a new opportunity. when you are out of the river you can see: there is no bad nor good, everything is ok.
when kandido got caught in some cold current she arrived, drown there by a strange destiny, and she said to him "it's ok." "yes, it's ok" kandido-jellyfish smiled back.
kandido lives this delusional life. he's totally into the stream. his plans never work out the way he wanted, lost train , lost buses, lost airplanes. but it's ok. the jellyfish moves in another direction.
sometimes it's the warm love waters that moves him, the currency that makes him flowing around the world, sometimes is friendship... but only warm water drives his path.
according to a Seon master we should take the path uphill:
"through the road uphill we can born again and again.without enduring hardship, we cannot born again."it's through understanding where the delusions rises that we can improve, that we can learn
5 months in the beautiful cosy china...5 months made of millions of moments, unique moments, unrepeatable. and everything will be forgotten, "like tears in the rain" (as they
say in bladerunner). kandido smiles. "luckily enough!!! more space for other millions beautiful new moments!"
