THIS IS AFRICA.  THIS IS LIFE.

THIS IS AFRICA. THIS IS LIFE.

TIA…This is Africa.  If you haven’t heard the acronym and saying, then you’re hearing it now, and let me tell you, it’s the perfect supposition for the experiences potentiated there.
Just like TIA, the phrase of accepting and embracing the learning and growth opportunities presented in Africa, I was faced with TIL:  This is Life, accept and embrace.  This is life, which winds and bends, throws curve balls, and acclimates you to the sides of yourself requiring cleansing and renewal.  Continue reading THIS IS AFRICA. THIS IS LIFE.

The Cashmere Diaries.                       London:  Literary Legacy

The Cashmere Diaries.   London:  Literary Legacy

Maybe I was crazy to leave the Mallorcan life I loved so much and relocate to London. I had to trade in my sundresses for cashmere.  It was time for CHANGE.  A new season was upon me. 
“Dude, you’re in London!” I was vibrating in the legacies of my literary heroes.  The ones impacting me most during my university days.  Those whom gave voice to the awarenesses simmering within me, shaping thought forms with inspiring prose.  Molding me.  Most notably Virginia Woolf, D.H. Lawrence, James Joyce, William Butler Yeats, T.S. Eliot.  Continue reading The Cashmere Diaries.   London:  Literary Legacy

Face-Planting, and Reflections on Art.   Madrid 18 Years Later.

The female dancer stood up from her tiny wooden stool then graced the stage.  She waited.  Gathering her skirt, and her forces, she tapped in to something.  The force overtook her and she moved along with the melody and song, contriving her body and stomping loudly onto the wooden stage with melodic and staccato taps and clicks.  Her face contorted as the emotion flowed through her.  An intense look I will never forget, one who’s story moved me to tears.   Continue reading Face-Planting, and Reflections on Art.   Madrid 18 Years Later.

Part II:  Encoding in Bulgaria

Part II:  Encoding in Bulgaria

I had been granted the experiential insight of understanding how when you visit a place, and openly, you connect and align to it, you will in turn take on the place’s frequency– forever bear it.  For me, it felt like adding a vibration of a place’s essence to my inner “basket of fruits,” and resonating it from then on.  So too was I doing here at Beglik Tash, and had done in Plovdiv, and Sofia.

South West France ~La Vie en Vert

South West France ~La Vie en Vert

It was a sunny, August day as we wound brightly along the hilly, narrow two-lane roads lined with verdant, pastured farm land.  The southwest of France is a shiny, picturesque dream of idyllic charm.  One painted repetitiously with plots of corn and patches of sunflower fields.  On this warm day, windows down, and blown by the steady cool wind, we buzzed past the endless fields, and I could feel the comforting presence of simplistic lifestyle where people existed closely together with the land.  Continue reading South West France ~La Vie en Vert
