My First Month in Colorado

So… Initially I planned to meet Joseph and stay for about 2 weeks… yeah right, what was I thinking. It’s been exciting, destiny-altering, and even at times unsettling. Every day I wake up feeling quite a lot different from the last. No regrets.

I ran out of free space on Flickr, so again, here’s a facebook photo diary of my favourite moments and stuff from the last month. I’ll follow this up with a post some time on my impressions of life out here.

Cherish Your Solitude

“Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep alone under the stars. Learn how to drive a stick shift. Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back. Say no whenever you don’t want to do something. Say yes if your instincts are strong, even if everyone around you disagrees. Decide whether you want to be liked or admired. Decide if fitting in is more important than finding out what you’re doing here. Believe in kissing.”
~ Eve Ensler

The first feeling that screamed through my head when I first read this was “YAY!!!”. Thanks Melissa! I’m chuffed this had you thinking of me — it’s crazily encouraging and set off a whirlwind of ideas. Actually, thanks for all the great titbits you send my way. We’ve only hung out a few times yet you seem to know me better than almost everyone without even trying. So I reckon if you’re as talented at giving back rubs as you are at baking and sending me awesome stuff, and dressing up for the pizza guy, in the next life you should probably be my girlfriend. I’m just letting you know now so it saves us both time. Hopefully it will all go according to plan and I won’t come back as a cat… or a pancake… or a Starbucks coffee cup lid… yeah, that would be a let down.

Happiness In, Happiness Out

“The body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care.”
~ Buddha

I really love this quote! I stumbled on it while looking for a talented Thai Yoga Massage therapist in Boulder.

I just realised right now, after reading this how much I love my body. Finally. It’s not perfect by any stretch of the media’s imagination, but its mine, it’s taken me all over the world, its allowed me to embrace some truly incredible human beings and it allows me the full range of intense sensations that make me feel like I’m burning with life all the time. It took me a long time to get to this point of loving my outer shell, even liking it. For 10 years, after a disturbance during my teens, I felt completely disconnected from it, most places I lived I didn’t even own a mirror, and when I did see my reflection by accident, like washing my hands at a restaurant, it always surprised me that I had some sort of form… my face particularly was odd to look at… I remember peering at it sometimes shyly like I was embarrassed to stare at someone else, I didn’t expect it to look the way it does… “who’s eyes are those? Who is that? It doesn’t even look like me.” It didn’t feel like me to even have a face. I always felt floaty, like a big ball of spirit not confined to a skin, not wanting to be in a skin at all… (more…)
