Awakening ...

I just reread this blog entry from July that for some reason didn't get published; I guess the time wasn't right until today. Enjoy ...

 

From July 12, 2012:

I am in love with the rainforest.  I have been home for a little over a week now and the serenity of Luna Lodge still lingers. I am so grateful to have been there with the amazing Libby, Raphaela, Katya, Tim, Lana, Gary, Edwin, Sandeep, and the other guests who were in and out of the Lodge during our special week. I am already looking forward to being there again; in the wild lushness, and life-filled jungle. The ocean beckons, the Scarlet Macaws screech with zeal (& always flying in pairs), Howler monkeys growl at sunrise, and, “Hola!” is called as we greet one another as old friends. We are all together, humans, animals, trees, ocean, sky, sun, moon, and stars. It is a sanctuary of peace and it feels like home from the moment of arrival! I long for my tropical soul-place, where I found inspiration – and I finally started writing that book I’ve thought about forever – 5 chapter headings, and three chapter outlines done. And it seemed so easy …

Wild green lushness,
                         tender beneath
                                  Howling, screeching, and calling my name
       
Asana, ocean,
          sky, sun, moon, stars
Writing the book
        that’s allowed to come forth.

Practicing, walking, and writing some more.
    Here seems forever,
          time leads to each breath.
        

Tropical soul-place,
                         sanctuary peace.

       Swimming in silence
                         awakened from sleep.
