Salidas

07-29-08

Today, it is the day if departure. The last day of my trip was fantastic, all I needed and longed for. I woke early with the sun, and then fell back asleep after stretching, yoga and water. I read- finished my book "Loving Frank", went to the beach with the family- Kurt and his children, the nanny and others. I imagine myself here again, for a block of time. I would have plenty here- love, sun, and laughter around me. Conditions we all flourish in. And time too- I would have plenty of that, without the distractions and demands of the North American home... or the rat race of it all. The jungle. The air. The ocean. A garden. I want to return. I am already longing for one. As I left the country yesterday, as soon as I was above, looking down on that beautiful green and lush land, hot tears streamed down my face.

"Goodbye Costa Rica.
Goodbye for now."
