Lost phone...gone but not frogotten!
Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all feeling mighty fine this crisp winter day.
Last Tuesday myself and Johnny headed to Galway. Off on the train we went and on arriving to Galway we headed straight for Ardbia, for some delicious food. The next day I had planned for us to be picked up by my amazing pal Sheila. Sheila was driving us to Delphi which is about an hour and half away from Galway.
On waiting for Sheila, a tall man asked me for directions while waiting outside our accomodation. (As it was raining I had lined my bags on top of each other as I didnt want the paper bag that had some gifts in it to get wet and so then I put my bag on top of that up against the lampost to shelter from the rain) I couldnt hear the man and so I stepped away from my belongings to try and hear what he was saying. Finally I understood that he said - "Is this the way to city centre?" and I said yes. My pal Sheila arrived and off we went in the car. Bernard her son also came for the ride with us and stopped off on the way to buy me two hot water bottles as I just couldnt get my feet or body warm the night before. It was only then that it occurred to me that my bag wasnt in the car. But I thought it must be hidden somewhere in the boot, not believing it was actually gone. I couldnt believe it when I realised it was on arrival to our destination. The man had stolen my bag with an accomplice. I remember another man walking by after him. Arghhhh.
Needless to say, having a phone gone with all your private photographs and videos is sort of soul destroying, especially when you have terminal cancer! I was so sad and mad and I couldnt believe somone could do this to an alone woman with a child. I dont know the extent to which everything that is gone and to be honest I dont want to know. Mad at myself for being so naive. The first night I couldnt help but think of all that I had lost. I couldnt help but think how stupid I was. But also I couldnt help but think that they could have stolen my child and that put me at ease somewhat. I had to meditate to get it to leave my mind as I also felt nauseous all day at the thought of someone going through my private belongings. If he had told me a good story of why he needed the money I probably would have given it to him, without him stealing from me.
I got over it fairly quickly. One cannot dwell on this stuff really. Out of sight out of mind and being in the middle of nowhere there was nothing I could do. I put it completely out of my mind to enjoy the few days of holiday in Delphi. We had an amazing time. I highly recommend it for fun bonding time with your friends and children. Actually being without a phone was amazing too. I kept finding myself going to reach for the phone to photograph himself or some beautiful vista and realised how much I use it. It was so stunning there. The mountains, the forests, the streams and rivers.
Isnt it strange how attached we are to these things. I know my phone has become my crutch somewhat. The photographs are in my memory now and not on a device. I actually found it very freeing. Friends very kindly offered me old phones and to be honest I dont want them. It is such a hinderance really. I felt like the days were so much longer. I felt like we got alot done and I was there. There in the moment, really looking deep into his eyes up in the woods and enjoying this life experience without the distraction of having to capture the moment, as I have been so obsessed with, even more now. It was really magical. (Bog runs, riding mountain bikes on trails, climbing, zip lining, catching frogs, (love frogs so much. I tried to even kiss one, to gross out the kids!!) watching the sunset, collecting pinecones, rain walks, coffees and cakes, toasted sambos and teas, spa treatment, pancakes and fruits and a fry for breakfast, no tv or phone! - pure bliss)
I know everyone needs phones for the whatsapp kids parents groups, the friends, the family, the this the that. Gosh its all just too much really. I have been so attached to this. I need to see how to live without it for a while, see what happens. I wonder do many others feel the same. Maybe I am just old fashioned. I dont want to spend the rest of my days looking at a screen. I want to just enjoy the moments now. Thats what is sacred. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise but I wish we could just go back to calling each other when needs be.
The wifi was so bad at Delphi it was only when I arrived at my aunties house that I saw a young gentleman called Barry had sent me a message through facebook as he found my bag by the river. He dropped it into Ardbia which I was delighted. I am so thankful that at least I will get my bag, wallet, diary today.
Everything is meant to be how it is.
Back to creating...Im so happy I have been gaining more and more energy.
Love this guy Mantak
