Why not
reserve
places on
B.C.
ferries?

QUESTION: These long
line-ups for the B.C. Ferries
are unforgivable. You can
do your best to plan a trip
and there’s no way-of leaving
when you want to without
being in line for two or three
ferries.

Why can’t B.C. Ferries
work ona reservation system
like the CPR Ferries do?
Why do they just give in toa
rotten system instead of
doing something sensible?

STEWART: I don't know
the intricacies of running a
ferry system, but I'd sure like
to hear an answer from B.C.
Ferries to your question.

I, for one, feel very
strongly that your question
deserves a good straight-
forward answer. Indeed,
why NOT work on a
reservation basis?

never had much money. I

and decided I liked her and

QUESTION: Three or four
years ago I had a series of
experiences and made a
smail group of new
acquaintances which
combined to serve as a sort
of challenge and enhan-

‘cement to me.

I came alive at age 36 in’a
new way for me. I never felt
better about myself, and, of
course, as a result, I never
felt better about other

_ people.

I did a lot of thinking, read
a lot of books, started into
meditation, which was a
brand: new experience for
me. I fourid a new church
that was very supportive and
helpful and all in all the
events of 1975 and ‘76 were
quite comparable to “a new
birth,” although I don't mean

that im the exclusively
. religious sense.
O.K., so much for

background. Now let me tell
you that in the last 10 or 12
months a lot of those gains
have simply slipped away
from me. Once again I seem
to have hecome fust as
negative and lacking in
energy and the joy of living
asl as before.

I don’t like wkat I am
experiencing and I find
myself pretty blue about ft
all and rather angry, to put it
mildly. What has happened
to me? And what can be
done about it? My “high”
was so enjoygble that this
“low” Is disgusting. Got an
idea for me?

STEWART: You ask two
questions. The first is “what
happened to me?” Nothing
has “happened” to you. You
have just made some
choices, the results of which
are now trying to contribute
to your continuing
‘emergence. Listen to what
they are telling you!

Your second question is
“what can be done about it?”
I think there is no answer to
that question. Would you be
willing to reword it? Will you
change it to “what can I do
about it?"
