nature. I think it might be where I feel the most safe. I've not been to outer space yet, but I imagine it to be just as beautiful. I just worry about not being able to control where my body goes. space makes that decision for you. but then again, that could be a good thing.
impromptu hike to the Plain of Six Glaciers Tea House. the owner let me take pictures of the kitchen. I was so surprised! nobody ever wants anybody to see what their busy kitchen looks like (for obvious reasons)... there is no electricity here and the supplies are dropped in via helicopter, transported by horses, or hiked in and out by the staff who live on-site. it was well worth the 6+ mile hike, especially when you don't bother to bring food and water because you didn't think you could be seduced by all the trail signs around you.
I went horseback riding and it hurt. I am of the asian persuasion lacking in the tubbiness of the posterior, so I can safely say that the absence of the badonkadonk gene, did not help when my horse Dickson... Dixon... whatever, galloped through the rough terrain. it was like I was taken on a most turbulent boney-butt-ride-crashing-against-the-rock-hard-saddle-from-hell on a horse that was sweet and chill and lovely. I was going back and forth from wanting to curse the universe to feeling adoration for a horse. It was exhausting! My inner thighs were sore the next day from having to brace every step. It didn't stop me from having fun, though. It was a really, really great experience and I am now in love with horses. I would risk my butt bones and do it again in a heartbeat.
(that horse is not Dickson/Dixon)
currently: just passed day 10 of my 30-day yoga immersion.
holy shit, why didn't I do this sooner?! I thought I was strong going into this, but I'm all kinds of sore everyday. it's been a challenge, both physically and mentally and I welcome all of it! I never went into it thinking I was going to feel "cleansed," but slowly I'm feeling the difference. my body feels less tense. I'm learning to be more patient, to take my time and mostly, to just breathe. every inhalation is like the universe telling me everything is ok. and every exhalation is like expelling physical/mental/emotional toxins my body, mind, and heart have stored. it's like i smoked some happy weed! whoa. I've also been getting some of the best sleep in what seems like forever! I just wanna yoga all day, everyday!
can someone tell me, though, why I constantly have the urge to open up my hips? that's all I want to do when I feel stressed, pressured or even just for the hell of it. what's up with that?!
in somebody else's sky...
currently: day 04 of my 30-day yoga immersion.
on the cray train but it's aight 'cause that's how I roll. I choo-choo-choose youuu!
I get excited, like maniacally excited about some things.
Sometimes I feel like I should carry a paper bag with me 'cause I feel like I might hyperventilate from all the excitement. then I manage to calm the fuck down and it's like nothing ever happened.
I'm already planning on where to travel to next...
To the fifth dimension and back!
Observations + recollections:
-There's too much coffee in my coffee.
-Something bit me on the eyelid last night and it's now red and swollen.
-I've returned home from vacation. Nooooooooooooo.
-I forgot to post and write about this before leaving. I pretty much feel the same way Jessica does about dating, guys, work, relationships... http://fortydaysofdating.com/
-I got my first speeding ticket ever in my 36 times around the sun. In Canada.
-Cleanse + detoxify. I think I gained 10lbs while on vacation. Here's some of what I ate.
septembre, j'attends votre arrivée. vite, s'il te plait!
Dates secured, destination locked, heart loaded, mind engaged, body ready for take-off. I cannot wait.
