Life is beautiful.

Being at home is so important for my well-being.
I have been able to meet and spend time with many of the most important people in my life, and have also been lucky enough to meet and enjoy time with my extended circle of amazing friends and wonderful new acquaintances.

I should be spending more time studying, doing work for Uni
Fuck it
I don't care all too much
I care more about time with the people
I will leave some time for study
but it can not
under any circumstances
take too much of the time I have away.

This may be corny stuff to read
Perhaps I might interest my readers in some highlights
Where I've been and what I've done

I started this life-saving holiday off
by being picked up from the airport by my best friend
We then went off together to a concert
along with one of the gems that have entered my life this year
The concert was beyond words
such a beautiful couple of hours
Antony and the Johnsons
in an intimate venue
with these great people
WoW

Later that night
my very first night here
(what a beginning)
I ran into the arms of my boyfriend
a moment that I had anticipated for so long
And in his arms I have pretty much stayed
ever since

I was reunited with my little daughter
she's a 3 year old angel
from which I have been separated the bigger part of each year
since her birth
by the Atlantic

My best friendess graduated
I am very proud of her
she stands at cross-roads
a feeling I know all too well right now

I have spent some time at my favourite cafè
always feels good to return there
share a cup of coffee or chai with friends
and see the familiar faces
and feel the familiar atmosphere
That blessed cafè is my only real incentive
for study
it is my place of study as it functions to attract me

Then, just yesternight, I partook
in a sweat-loss ceremony
I do this as often as I can
every time I am here
It was wonderful
a cleansing of mind and body
a session of prayer
a return to the womb of the Earth
giving oneself to the Earth
and breathing nature's fire into one's body
is like nothing else
I love it
I crave it

There were moments of total and utter peace
during the sweat-loss
when I just lay there in Earth's embrace
exhausted but oh so happy
and felt overwhelmed by my life
how lucky I am
how protected
how full of life-force
how important my life is
filled with friends
filled with family
filled with hope
filled with passion
loved
in love

happy
calm,
