I have gone further south and am now residing in San Jose
Costa Rica con mi familia! It has been
roughly 7 years since I have seen them last, it is certainly a warm feeling to
walk back into the lives of people that you see rarely and feel a warm
connection. This however, is not without it challenges. Most all of my family
speak none to little English, and though my Spanish is improving daily is
cumbersome, exhausting, and at times frustrating. I certainly appreciate
children and their ability to communicate with smiles and laugher. The only new
family is one’s that were not born yet.
Watching my 84-ish year old grandmother jump roping was certainly a
treat as well. BUT – I must say there is so many F&^*ing people in San
Jose! Whoa! It is intoxicating in a less than pleasurable way.
Costa Rica thus far – staying centered, detached from
outcomes and solely responsible for my own choices are great reminders.
Previous to the fambam I spent a week in Uvita, Punteranas
at Envision festival. It was a treat to meet up with friends from home. It was
a bit a strange to be speaking so much English. It was as though I was at a
festival in California. Wonderful
universe connections, meeting up with Julia Butterfly in the Airport,
asking for a ride and not knowing who she was, then spending a day with her and
her friend Carlos….finding out later who she is – for the activist novice out
there, she is the woman who sat in a ancient tree to stand up against clear
cutting. Great words of wisdom from her! Listened and shared my own ideas with
David Pinchbeck; was marveled by Unified field theory; made countless beautiful
encounters and connections! Furthermore, soon.
Envision – on potential over stimulation – remember this is
MY experience, whatever feels right for me, is right.
I also said good-bye to San Antonio, Belize where I spent
people reflection time. Assisted with getting a library going, facebook
promotion, taking care of the farm stead, building a path, playing in the
preschool, helping with sewing, and canoeing & bird-watching with Rod of
course!
San Antonio- when you go walking alone into unknown places,
it’s good to remember the things your guide pointed out earlier otherwise you
may walk into a poisonous itchy plant!
