Adventures- sometimes Mis-Adventures of an Aspiring Cosmic Surfer

So I had all intentions and purposes of writing sooner and more frequently. This is of course the story of my existence. Full of thoughts, ideas, and energy. Almost to much. Restless describes me well. Funny thing is that I love my rest too. I guess it is all that energy that is getting spurt out everywhere that is so exhausting.

Enough excuses and rationalizations. I could give those to you all day. Let me get on with it. Well, I left good ol' Chico in search of well, myself, on Monday the 28th of January (Common though really this search has been going on for, well, forever). It has been approximately two weeks and I find myself in Belize City. A very beautiful country. Welcome to International tourist and an outstanding poverty rate. It is an interesting paradox really. I have been able to find my way (sorta) through the grand resource of the internet, old friends, and new friends. Quite honestly I put off "planning" a more detailed trip until I got here. I knew that in time what I wanted to do and what I could do, would become evidently clear to me. As it is. 

I have found great resource in Couchsurfing, Help X, WWOOF, and Workaway. My real motivations were to travel & to test my own limits. And by golly I am surely doing the two. Why test my own limits?  I have practiced "energy work" for the last... hmm nearly 10 years. WHOA! That seems like a long time. Through my proactive sometimes reactionary practice, I have found that whatever degree of "enlightenment" or clear thought that I have risen to there is also a plateau. This in here is where the challenge lies. Funny way of the universe,  even if you aren't ready to shift that plateau, she will politely (sometimes not so politely) shove you in the current that you were looking for. And here I am. 

Life is full of lessons. Each moment, each second propelling us...ME closer to what is being sought. A beautiful dance most of the time...and I do mean MOST of the time. Sometimes it is a really sad dance that I know well, and sometimes it is a dirty dance I  do not want to admit to knowing. It is always a dance though, and lord knows I love to dance. 

Something I do not do so well is swim. I love the water, enjoy every moment near or in it. I am sure most of my friends can attest to moments where my love for water was questionable (falling in during the winter in Concow).  Water in the energetic senses is related to emotions. Another thing I have a hard time dealing with. Good at suppression but not so much at riding out. Emotions are the currency of the universe, as is water the nurturance of life. So in my voyage of self- discovery I am learning to swim, eventually to surf. Metaphorically and Literally (We will see about the later).  

I have read a book or two, or three or four about "spiritual enlightenment." Irony is, most these books are about men. So with a general schema of the energetic layout I ascend on to my voyage of self-discovery, spiritual enlightenment, and enthusiasm to be a STRONG WOMAN! This I will share with whoever reads this...

I will get into the details of my adventures and internal dialogues (some external). Most of all I am going to allow myself the PATIENCE to write & do what comes. I will leave the rest. It is important it will come back.
