We have just met Denise again. Denise is Irish. We had met her in HCMC’s funny expat scene. When today in Mui Ne we stepped onto one arbitrary bus among the thousands that go north each day, suddenly she was there again. Yesterday in Mui Ne, Julian met two expats that he had been boozing with some days ago in HCMC. But the greatest miracle happened the day before yesterday: When we dragged out of bed at 9 this once because of the heroic 35th anniversary of Saigon’s liberation, I was singing the beautiful German schlager Wunder gibt es immer wieder (There are miracles again and again). Indeed: When I went down the steps to the living room of our guest house granny, who sat there but Caroline and Anne-Laure, the two French girls we had once met in Rattanakiri, Cambodia, the official end of the world. Among the thousands of guest houses in this city they had actually booked the one remaining room besides ours chez granny. They had been living here for days. It was just our entirely different sleeping rhythm that had kept us apart.

What do these miracles want to tell us? Apart from the realization that the traveller trail in Vietnam is apparently as narrow as the country itself, to me it says a lot about the abundance in the Universe: The world is a benevolent place for those who live in abundance. Abundance is a purely mental state. The point being that we had let go of these wonderful people, we didn’t cling to them. Which is why they keep returning to us. This is the nature of abundance: If we are only relaxed and convinced that there’s always enough of everything for us, then that is the case. This holds for friends, love, sex, money, or even books:

Another feature of the traveller’s life is having the time and desire to read books. Which has led to the emergence of a very specific niche industry in traveller countries that buys, copies, and sells books. At the moment I’m probably reading as much as never before in my life, and I have become used to simply give the books I’ve read back to the Universe. Instead of hoarding them for selling or swapping I just drop them somewhere or give them away. In this way I get to haul around less, and this abundance mentality also makes the Universe throw so many books at me that I can hardly read them all (and I read a lot!): I’m receiving wonderful works as a gift all the time in guest houses, joints, or the Internet. Sometimes I also buy some in order to ensure my abundance of money as well.

By the way, this is also one reason why sometimes people accuse us of writing too little on sex, it being in our name after all: I have come to believe that there is truth to the old saying: Those who talk most about sex, are having the least. It’s like everywhere: The rich get richer. When you do not have to talk about something because you”re sure to always have enough of it; when you get the feeling you’d like to share some of your abundance with others – that’s when you really always have enough. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do anything in order to satisfy your needs. That is another, more practical level. Just make sure on the emotional level you don’t let yourself get persuaded by your practical doing that you wouldn’t have enough already.
