| Hello all my friends out there. You guys are amazing! I got so many emails finding the Clarence Park B&B for me, people like Yellow818, ThoughtsFromTheAbyss, otter9193, AxysDenyed, dwhuber, gabztrevino, rebaleeve, megiddo, silentrysentry, barbazul, ariel & wander - You guys rock!
I couldn't believe how many people were all coming up with the same answers so I knew it must be a good first place to start in order to find out why I am here in Adelaide. It's also good to know that there are so many people out there watching out for me when I am so far away from home. You know, I’m still not sure about this trip. It still seems crazy to me. I can't believe that I quit my job, left Vix and all my friends and am now following visions around the world. It just seems nuts. I’m worried that I might get through this trip, find nothing and have nothing left.
So I was really happy when I met the owners of the Clarence Park B&B. Heath and Julie are really sweet and even had me in for tea. I told them a bit about who I am and about Kriel and Tampa and as soon as I mentioned miracles their eyes lit up. So get this - in Adelaide there's a city bus route called the "Miracle Mile". They are located on the bus route and get most of their customers over the past few years from people who come their looking for cures for illnesses.
Apparently a lot of strange miracle cures have been occurring in the city in a strange pattern that is all around this particular bus route. So now people with injuries or terminal illnesses actually ride this bus in hope of being cured. So of course I immediately went and boarded the bus.
As soon as I got on, I sensed this eerie sensation. Nobody talks and what's really weird is that nobody actually gets off the bus – like ever. They just sit there, not reading or even listing to music or anything and ride the bus from one end of the route and back again, over and over. It's also weirdly quiet – like a church and I actually think that lots of them are praying or meditating. Although several seem to be terminally ill, this bus has provided them with a tiny kernel of hope and they are all holding on to it with conviction and a sense of desperation.
I talked to one man who was diagnosed with terminal cancer, who has been riding the bus for the last three weeks just hoping for a miracle. I didn’t really know what to say to him. I wish that the bus would cure him - but how could this be possible? It just seemed like a normal bus to me.
(video - see transcription below)
I interviewed some of the people on the bus which you can see in the video I uploaded. I also tried to interview the bus driver whose name is Mike (I think) but he really didn’t want to talk to me. I can’t really blame him. I must look like a psycho pointing my camera in everyone’s faces.
