met a german woman last sunday who told me about her reason for coming to this island 4 yrs ago. her friend suffered a stroke in her mid-30s. which reminded her insistently to live her dreams NOW. & so she did! if not now then when.
so … let’s go on!
… start moving, s/he said, so that i may start blessing … life is full, intensive, i started moving (again) & wow!
the last weeks were filled with activities, celebrating, meeting friends (yes, we do have a social life again!).
i got a great offer, to join m.’s finca in the south of the island … which seems to be the answer to my desires for community & a garden … well, at least it will be a beginning of our community … and right now i visualize to stay here for another six month, then travel for a while & after that come back to live on the finca!
years ago i shared some part of my journey here with a russian guy. he had been living in germany for years but had always been missing his homeland. why wouldn’t he go back then? those days i wasn’t able to understand this at all. when once i told him, all he said was: “well, that’s why you are living here instead of brazil or somewhere.”
now i finally understand …
… if i were brave
what would i do if i knew that i could not fail
if i believed that the wind always fill up my sail
how far would i go
what could i achieve
trusting the hero in me.
what step would i take today if i were brave?!?
visited the emigration museum today … read & listened to lots of life stories. people who left everything behind & started their new lifes from scratch. so much courage! hope. confidence. i am deeply impressed. yearning so much to go!
dreams - then & now
where to go
what to take along ...
... & what to leave behind?
