Macrobiotic Life

5:50 get up
8:30 – 9:10 yesterday grains (rice + millet) with water deep-fried broccoli + roasted flax seeds (50x chewing)
12:20 – 12:40 small portion of fresh cooked kuskus with carrot and daikon + 2 plates of seitan; going out to school and taking 2 jars of this food
15:00 – 15:20 eating 1st jar at school, being very hungry, not chewing at all
18:10 – 18:40 chewing well 2nd jar, still at school

I am feeling very warm and very fine, happy minded. Outside temp is 0 *C. I have bought another camping tools for my traveling future plans. I have new gas cooker (var2 – czech made), new camping cooking set (2 pots – 1.5 liter and 1 liter) – but they have very thin bottom, i am not sure how well will these serve for macrobiotic foods cooking, because they need longer time preparation and lower flame. These camping cookers are prepared for maximum effect – high flames, rapid boil, but not for the low simmering. Anyway, for the longer trips to the foreign countries (Asia, Russia, Mongolia etc.), I imagine taking small 3.5 liter WMF pressure cooker. Yes, it sounds crazy, but I was inspired by Nelissen, who pictures I saw, when he was traveling China and taking not only one but two of these WMF pressure cookers in the backpack – their handles were sticking out of his bag like a two samurai swords But you need a lot of gas bombs for long time cooking too. Hope I will get more experiences. And what better could I do, than going to sleep in the nearby woods tonight. I was really feeling very warm, even hot. I have also bought new professional all-season groundcloth (14mm strong). It was veeery adventurous to go outside in the night for me, it was first time sleeping without tent, under the beautiful sky and trees. I packed my stuff and also some food to enjoy the morning breakfast in the nature and to test my cooker. I had head-light already boughten.
I went out at 22:30 and was preparing my sleep place at 23:30. Although I have slept no more than 3 hours, the enjoyment was VERY VERY cool. I felt like I can really go and sleep anywhere. I fall asleep fast, because I was heated from the trip and I was even sweating. But then I woke up and being cold. I couldn’t slept at all, I was feeling completely awake and was thinking about many thinks where I will travel. But while being still chilled, I went out and do a quick muscle training set (crunches and quick nunchaku set – yeah, I took my nunchaku also). And then went fast to the sleeping back and was ok and fall asleep again for a 1 hour. Woke up at 5:30. All birds were singing and I started to hear something very similar to barking, it was quite close to me. I looked around and I realised that even roebucks are barking I fall in love with sleeping outside. I fall in love with Nature. I want to spend more time outside than in the house. And with today’s achievement, I feel very powerful. It was my first trip in the quite cold weather, sleeping without tent. I forgot to say, that it was -3 *C through the night.
At the morning I made a lot of streching, some fast runs, Bates eye stretching method for my shortsightedness (I have very strong – minus 6 dioptres and I consider this as a biggest goal in my life, to corect this shortsightedness problem and to enjoy the World without glass crunches, it limits me in many adventurous dreams and sports, I need to wear contact lenses, but I am ok with them only for 12 hours, sometimes I would need more hours without glasses, especially if I would like to hike in the mountains).
Then I warmed my leftover grains (kuskus + rice with millet) in the bancha tea. All went ok with the VAR cooker. And chewed 50-150 times in the meditative morning forest atmosphere. I eat that from 6:50 – 7:40.
I come home at 8:30.
But now, while writing (10:00), I feel like I have small higher temperature. But I am happy for this, because the yin overeating in the previous days needs to be eliminated. I am very thankful it goes out in the natural manner – higher temperature and sweating. I will definitely support my body in this process with small food portions and perfect chewing today.

I have also finished the school. Actually, I call it school, but it was course in the “Www administration” that belongs under the Labour Office, because I am unemployed at this time. From today I have all my time for my future plans. I have some money stream coming from my internet website projects. But it’s not much and I will need to live frugal life, if I wouldn’t want to go to work.

Thank you Nature for this beautiful World.
