I never thought these stories were real, until one day.....

Oh peeps peeps peeps. What I wouldn't give to have one of you with me today. I had something funny happen. I only wish I was a better storyteller, but here goes. Today was a little cloudy and on the cool side so I went down to the hot springs for a warm soak. I went to the Manby hot springs which are at the bottom of the Rio Grande gorge, a few pools beside the cold river, it's really nice. I'm lying there soaking and looking up at the rocks when a dude gets in the pool next to mine, naked. That isn't unusual because the hot springs are clothing optional. I had on my bathing suit. So we start talking, introducing ourselves and a couple of other ladies show up and he says they are his friends and they are tantra instructors. It's just dificult sometimes not to make a joke. What I wanted to do was imitate the classic porn music, but whenever I try to do that it comes out sounding like the theme from Sanford and Son. And I wasn't sure if they would get it. Then I thought maybe they would get it too well, if you know what I mean. It just seemed like the perfect set up. "These are my friends, they are tantra instructors" Then the girls got in the hot springs naked as the day they were born and started rubbing mud all over each other. One of them turned to me and said, "Excuse us, we're very touchy feely. Capitol T capitol F" (again, cue porn music)
Turns out they were in town to do a workshop on tantra which got my interest because for some reason I was sort of naively thinking about tantric energy, because I'm studying energy- I mean yeah I know it's about sex but I was imagining a workshop where I could show up with pen and paper, listen to a lecture about tantra and then maybe do some breathing exercises and concentrate on opening the heart chakra, or getting the sacral chakra spinning at the right speed. Later when I reflected back on the conversation I think maybe they were going to do dirty stuff. Some of the things they said about it, like "No one has to do anything they don't want to do" and "we get pretty intimate" at the time didn't sound unusual because I was still thinking about a group of people that may just be there to learn these concepts, and maybe some folks would feel uncomfortable talking about certain things but wouldn't have to if they didn't want to. They offered to give me a discount to come to the workshop. But I don't think I'm ready for something like that. I tried to read a book about tantra once and got embarrassed by the pictures of the "cobra kiss" which isn't even as dirty as it sounds. They were really lovely poeple and all. I enjoyed meeting them. And I'm down with the tantric stuff for sure. I mean I have Saturn in the 8th house so I really should be learning about it.
Once they found out I lived in an Earthship they wanted to hear all about that. They had driven by the community and said they had been wondering what kind of poeple lived in Earthships. As if going around the country hosting orgies is perfectly normal. Just Kiddding. I loved them. I love New Mexico.
