My Traveling Spirit
|
Oh, how I love to travel. Is it the gypsy in my DNA? Is it because my parents were adventurous and came to this country for the American dream? Is it because of the travel I enjoyed as a kid? Could be. PBS travel documentaries and shows are all on the DVR. I love a movie that has many exterior shots of the locale. In a book, please describe the location in detail.
I'm grateful that today I can enjoy my time at home with my routines, spending time on my work, and family, attending to my spiritual life, walking and yoga. There have been times when I physical limitations due to pain. I'm grateful to have had opportunities both here and abroad to meet and talk with strangers and regulars, connecting honestly and with heart connections. Ah travel. My heart opens as I plan a trip, my childlike wonder expands, I'm giddy. This is a wonderful feeling, "how can I keep this?" Well, it turns out I can live like a traveler of earth. This adventure, delight and magic can be brought into one's daily life! I'm not a morning person so I still don't bounce out of bed, but I do awaken with enthusiasm. I'm a traveler each day. Where will life take me? Who will I meet? How will I pay for it? What will I learn? |
Traveling is a heart expanding experience. In my journeys I have overcome challenges, and frightening experiences as well as connected with so many lovely people. I have had a dark night of the soul, as well small spiritual clarifications while traveling. I have travelled more than some and less than others, and am looking forward to more of it. For a few years now I've brought my traveling open-hearted attitude into my daily life, (almost daily,) and am a traveler on earth, each day filled with possibility.
Some of the travels in the journey.
Now in the second half of my life I’m able to enjoy this precious delicate thing called life, and myself with an experienced richness. My passion is in human heart felt connections, creativity and spiritual adventure. I have thoroughly enjoyed being a mom, wife, artist, teacher, volunteer, tour guide and spiritual facilitator. And have spent over twenty years creating meaningful spiritual ceremonies. I bring the sacred into the mundane, and walk in a caring, conscientious path.
Being of service is a tangible way of giving love.
