Chicken politics
The pride of having cooked a decent meal
The attunement to weather/nature patterns
The feeling of being tough enough
Star baths (bathing in my open shelter at night, under the
stars, with candlelight and soft steam)
Bucket baths in general
Owl hoots at night
The cozy coolness of my thatched house
Unrestrained weirdness: the perks of living alone
Chance moon sightings through the east window. The tiny window
opposite my bed occasionally
lined up perfectly with the rising moon and filled
my whole room with moonlight.
The excitement of a city treat-cheese, chocolate, milk, or
nice wine
The joy of clean self (heightened contrast)
Pineapples
My friends Nick and Sid close by
Freedom to have a glass of wine, if I so choose (the PCVL house
is part of a dry property)
Feeling camaraderie with almost strangers over small things
in common
The taste of the mineral water
Laughing doves
