"Let the beauty you love be what you do. There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the earth."
~Jalāl ad-Dīn Rumi - a Persian poet and whirling dervish

A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it. 
~R. Tagore 
    
"...Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."
~ J.W. von Goethe

"Do not say, 'It is morning,' and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a newborn child that has no name." 
~R. Tagore  

"For as this appalling ocean surrounds the verdant land, so in the soul of man there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half-known life. "

    Wide-Eyed Wanderer, it’s been a shade over a week since you left and you’ve never been far from my thoughts.

    I’m delighted Roerick would cry

    Love the shot of the globe; profound. You are protected by it and it guilds you.

    Your quotes are most poignant to wit ~

    I don’t have to develop the practice of reading your blog… it is so absorbing. I will learn through your journey, which I’m plotting like an Indiana Jones movie map.

    Indeed just listen to “our” learning together today, as you observe...

    I watched the older men and women doing qui gong and various kinds of stretching with concentration of a surgeon.

    There is a pervasive sense of community.

    People begin their day by honoring their bodies and spirit.

    It has occurred to me that this is the taste of exactly the kind of spirit and heart-based community that my being craved in the U.S. and didn't find.

    I was transfixed by how my dream has come to life. This place transcends anything I have imagined.

    There is a magnetic pull here to be with the alien scenery that feels strangely like home.

    We played and laughed and I felt like a child that I am.

    We were simply humans together.

    Touched to the core just how much these people know how to enjoy life and take care of each other while doing it! An overwhelming sense of community washed over me in waves.

    It was MAGICAL and no words or pictures could capture it....

    "Simple boat on the river,
    Whirling dervish on top
    While the blue peaks are silently watching...."

    A bone-crushing [the way, aha-aha, I like it!] massage for 4-5 $/hour - in short, a paradise for the journeyer bon. [Not too shabby…]

    Your sharing is wonder-ful.

    In profound gratitude for the gift that you are in my life,

    Well, I guess, I got an answer to my first question...

    Ahhhh...yes. The comments are public. That's the fun of it. Although, I'm just now discovering just how many loving souls have been commenting on the various posts! Feeling a little cyber-dense. Here I'm thinking many of my posts go into the cyber-void, and I all of a sudden discover a delight-ful massive feedback right here and now! It's good to FEEL the listening of my community. Especially like that - all in one place. A surprise to the heart.

05/24/2013 Tonsai Beach, Thailand Home, Sweet Home!  Photo credit:  www.lederhosening.com I come out onto my patio and see a root of a banyan tree wiggle. Wait. That's no root. That's an iguana camouflaging as one – humbly looking for breakfast. A big one. Craggy karst rocks pierce the horizon in Pandora-esque starkness. The sky is crochet with a white-to-lilac cumulus nimbus, the temperature gently hovering around the “just perfect” mark. A hammock rocks gently under a leafy tree in the winds of the Andaman, as the milky-turquoise steamy waves sing a hymn to this paradise. In that hammock no more than a few metres from the shore, lays a blond girl clad in diaphanous raw silk holding a furry black cat. She is me. Azure butterflies sprinkle themselves like oversized confetti throughout the jungle. The bull frogs vibrate the jungle with moans that would put most peacocks in heat to shame. The cicadas cast their hypnotic spell over the fecund forest on the s...

My Jjimjilbanging Seoul

Image
01.28.2013 Seoul, South Korea My Jjimjilbanging Seoul Korea is a busy place. The work hours are long and vacations are short for most locals. A 12 hour work day is customary. A five-day a year vacation – a norm. The kids are not exempt from this working frenzy – an average child attends 4 after-school academies, making “Johnny a dull boy.” Yet, no complaint is to be heard. Neither from an adult nor from a child. To a question “How do you do it?” a frequent response is “oh, it's just my job...” while the kids just shrug their shoulders as if it hasn't even occurred for them to question this state of affairs. Truly, a a curious way of acceptance. However, I believe, there is one “escape hatch” that helps Koreans brave the freezing winters and intense working conditions in this tiny, densely-populated country. The Jjimjilbangs, a Korean spin on the Roman Baths, and Oncheon – jjimjilbangs built on the natural hot springs, of which there are over 400 in Korea. If...

True Colours of Utah

11.29.2012 Crystallizing Utah Utah is many things....and amazing fall colours are its hallmark. Bear Creek canyon near Mt. Nebo, UT, was my daily "stomping ground" for a few months. The trails there are steep, the air - fresh, and the colours - breathtaking. See for yourself! Ascending Mt. Nebo Our heroic Cat has multiplied yet again. Behold - left to right - Charcoal, Peach, Felty, Tigra. Our furry "Utah fruit" two months later.
