May 7 Salinas . 2nd night.

May 7 Salinas . 2nd night. Yesterday looking for shelter and today busking , these two things made my journey hard to say sweet. life is same as wave , sometimes high , sometime low, I had two great days with George and Warren. now I need experience differient things. That made life full of colors. Today 4 stores let me go when I played flute. Totally I made $7.18. God has mercy , God has grace. My driver who picked me up from Marina gave me $14 . And a bag of dried beef . In this pretty big town , I walked whole day, hitchhiking 3 times. One of my drivers name is Joe , he is court interpreter. So I with him went to court and listened a traffic case. That was interesting thing even I had 200 times court trial experience in China. After the case was done, Joe introduced me to the judge. I asked " can I take a photo of you ?" this sounds a " question " for him to think about the answer. So I quickly added another sentence :" you are handsome . " The judge said " I stand there . " if he stands at that corner, he will be not the judge. " I want the flags. " I said . There are American flag and california Flag behind the judge seat . " I take off robe. ". Even I am not happy he take off his uniform, but what can I say? He is the judge of the United States of America. Joe has another case to work at 1:30. I went to wal Mart to play music. Now I think I might should go to listen his case , that would be fun. Except the hiring information of teaching chinese in Monterey institute Joe told me" there are another place is better than shelter , it is woman crisis.,, for the woman... Her husband beat her. . ". I said" my husband didn't beat me . I' ve never lie . I left home because this world is too beautiful ,not my husband is too bad." In fact , last night when i got to bad, I thought of my husband Sean, I almost cried. I missed his kisses . every morning he kisses me to wake me up, every evening i say a prayer to his ears to send him to dream land. it was 8th days of my journey ,I slept everywhere , no one kiss me.every evening I pray for certain people , sometimes I even forget to pray for my husband. I want to cry now.... This morning when I was in Starbucks , I read Christopher' s email , I told him that I feel I am so weak .. I sat there and just wept , wept, ... iPod was in my left hand, tears in my right hand. I know God will help me conquer this feeling. I know I can complete this 5 month traveling. Last evening when I ate dinner in the shelter, I found there is the picture of Jesus on the celling exactly above my head . I felt that I was so lucky . I am thinking about George, he is intelligent , talent ,May God help him quit smoking and drinking. May God guid his road and build his great career and bless him with a wonderful wife .
