*blink blink*
saturday proceeded as expected:
1) yogahahah...
went to yoga class - it was amazing - has a lot to do with where i am at inside myself at this point in my life...
the yogi said don't go to india i will bring india to you
then he said don't go to california i will bring california to you
hehe
no actually the yogi didn't say that latter part
but that is how i was feeling...
2)with teresasasa down in the sohia
teresa, her friend tom and i went down to salt fork for the day
yay for roadtrips and the beautiful scenery along the way...
oh oh oh ...green so green so so so...
i was super mellowfied...and daydreamy to to to...
there were also four wheelers and pontoon boats involved
but the pontoon boat...wow...
and also must note:
until this weekend teresa was deathly scared of water!!!
i felt like i was in a jungle movie lost on some african river...we didn't see any hippos but we did see fish, cranes and lots of turkey vultures...and the trees were not very exotic but looked like they were from the midwest...but it was adventurous none the less...
i sat on the front edge of the boat as we glided cautiously along avoiding the giant alligators and man eating snakes...and all...
i felt quite relaxed...there is no way they would eat me...i am the river queen...
anyway, i was on the front edge of the boat (just a flat open space with no walls)...sitting quietly...forgetting all that was behind me and i was like a soul just floating along the water...it was so peaceful...i laid back for a bit and just felt the boat gently bouncing...i imagined i was a wave...mmm...it was delightful...then teresa joined me up front and we both stuck our feet in the water and started to play and splash like kidds and then we got the cameras out like sugar and got a bit hyper for a bit...
it just went on and on and on...floating there...watching other boats glide by...watching water and ripples...watching this and that...and breathing and laughing and smiling...
when we arrived at the dam...our pontoon boat decided it didn't want to pontoon anymore...i was so mellow...tom and teresa were a bit flippid...i told them...it'll be fine...let's just chill here a bit and figure it out again in 20 minutes...they just kept freaking and i just let them and kicked back to watch the boats drive by that we could have flagged down for help...haha...
i was like...i will let them figure this one out...i am not going to waste my energy dude...20 minutes later of unnecessary fretting...they finally decided to flag one of the boats down for assistance...i was like...okay i will shut up here...and the nice young man with a speed boat showed them what was up with the gasline and it was full speed ahead...thank goodness...i knew things would be fine...not like the giant alligators and hippos were attacking or anything...
so we are on our way...and i just watched more water and more trees and nature stuffs while i daydreamed here and there about living in the woods and building my own home and growing my own food surrounded by themed gardens and lots of flowers and trees...
meanwhile tom was talking about his potential boyfriend and teresa was talking about here current and i was like...
i don't want to hear this, i don't want to hear this...
and then i saw all the daydreams i was having and they suddenly felt really lonely and i just wanted to get back to the dock and sit by the fire and talk about something else...
back at the "cabin" there was a lovely fire awaiting us...i immediately took off for the comfort and solace it provides me and just sat and watched it burn...
i don't know if it is just me or because i am a fire sign...but i really love fires...i always have...they take me some where...maybe back to the sun...i don't know...i just know i savor it...
eventually teresa's man showed up and her uncles and nephew and tom and i sat around listening to her family's stories as the sun set...it was quite nice to hear someone else's history...the old stories...the the stories they didn't tell you when you were a kid...and who looks like who (something that fascinates me since i will never know)
this is good stuff for teresa...she spent a good amount of time in isolation from her family...and she is just getting to know them...so i was happy to share in the experience with her...and see the delight in her face as she found out about her past...and got to bond as an adult for the first time with her family...it was really sweet...and i enjoyed it :)
i am just remembering stories of pet animals being eaten for dinner and mg's being flipped here and there...it was insane!
i also enjoyed an occasional glance away from the fire as darkness set in more deeply...there was a field of lightening bugs down in the valley below...and it was all aglow...so amazing...little dots calling out for their lovers in the night...aw...*blink blink*
