Green in the Blue

oh la laa…

I suppose it seems as if I’ve dropped off the planet…well technically, yes, I did, a few times over. It’s interesting, though, with the planet a sphere and all, how one finds themselves right-side up wherever one tends to land. Cat like, I suppose.

Packing up my life and leaving town, friends, family, under encouragement and envy, worry and well wishes, jumping over to Mexico and then into the big blue, within weeks, was once this year. Then savouring the simple pleasures, moments with people and places, enhancing my internal workings and integrating the outside world, I focussed on the present and not on pecking away to share the moments with the cyber eyes. Second time I fell from earth. I very well could have disappeared into the jungles and cliffs, fruit trees and friends of Ua Pou, but that will be next time. Third time was charming, as my dream of sailing to atolls was fulfilled in the most unexpected way. I will elaborate soon.

Now, back in the comfortable and wild homeland of Canada, I have been trying to find my place and thrive, trying to make the world a beautiful place, and I’m about to slip off the face of the globe a fourth time in a few short months. My plan is to move to Alberta after Thanksgiving weekend, as if I’ve had enough of the ocean. This isn’t at all the case, but I’m looking forward to friendship opportunities and a chance to roll all of my experiences into one kick ass position, professionally and personally.

I will be slowly transferring my journal to text, memories to memoirs, and share some of the details regarding the intensity of living in the moment, for better or for worse, and all that has transpired over the past few months. It’s juicy, I promise…

If I could sum up the entire sentiment it would be cliche: Be careful what you wish for!…
