The journey in Asia commenced December 3, 2009.  That journey was about new lands, new peoples, new perspectives, new beauty, new states of mind.  I worked to overcome fear, learning of a new courage that was always inside of me, but waiting to ripen at the right moment.

December 4, 2009, after having been given many hints the 1st day, I truly learned why I should be very thankful for the life I am given, because I saw those who have not been given anything remotely resembling that which I have.

A year after that journey, I was on another journey, in my own country, but still in distant lands.  This day helps me remember how beautiful it is to come indoors after living outside in the freezing weather and hitching rides with strangers.

The same date in 2011 brings the memories of divine melody.

While reading today, I remembered how important it is to have imagination, curiosity and creativity.

I try being conscious of how lucky I am to have people in my life, even if I love solitude.

I am thankful for life, and thank you, universe, for this current life and ask for more love and more life added to mix with this flow, increasing the glory of wild peace, enthusiastic verse experience, flowing magic with musical love

I am so thankful to be given this animate stream, somehow still walking on the universal balance beam, smiling wide inside a living dream
