I currently in the US but travel often for work and holiday.

I will not die and unlived life.
I will not live in fear
of falling or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days,
to allow my living to open me,
to make me less afraid,
more accessible,
to loosen my heart
until it becomes a wing,
a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance,
to live so that which came to me as a seed,
goes on to become a blossom,
and that which came to me as a blossom,
goes on to become a fruit.

Currently I am in the process of finishing a novel.......I will keep the story line a suprise for now. If you have an exotic dish, amazing restaurant you have visited, or a special meal in any part of the world, send me the story details.
It would be very much appreciated!!!!

I have been blessed with the opportunity to travel. But I would like do to so much more, consciously.
Swimming with a baby elephant in Thailand;
Treating a sick woman in a hospital with walls with peeling blue paint, with the stench of rotting meat, wafting through the halls in Beijing;
Standing in the Summer Palace, and knowing, that somehow I have been there before, if only in a dream;
Dragging a ridiculously heavy suitcase up the metro in Paris, in the pouring rain, and seeing the yellow walls I have drempt before in an unexpected place';
Crying at the beauty of Pope John Pauls speech at the Vatican in Rome even though I don't speak Italian;
A night of fighting off dangerous snakes in the jungles of Belize;
Languishing in a hot springs waterfall by the ocean in Canada;
Drinking Dos Equis as the sun sets and the band is playing "those cotton fields back home, in a small costal town in Mexico;
Seeing an endless sunset over the Sonoran Desert.
Having an intense discussion with a buddhist monk in Northern Thailand....

I still dream of deserts, and people in colors of gold and reds, shaking out dusty carpets,
streets busy with vendors selling vegatables and fruits I have yet to taste
and to walk in a place that mirrors my intrinsic knowing;
A bike ride through the country with mountains and oceans that meet.
More traveling is yet to come in time...........Even through your stories.
