Malibu beautiful Malibu
What a glorious day since I last posted. I posted and then we departed for the mountains. We went to visit my friend Shannon who is staying at an amazing home at the top of a mountain in Malibu. He is a gifted music man who just returned from China where he composed music for an installation. He is the kind of man who takes a field recorder out into nature and records wind, streams and bees humming. He also plays the imbera, or otherwise called thumb piano or kilamba. Its origins are from Africa, but he had one that is gigantic. A man custom makes them for him, it is not like the small ones made of a gourd or small wooden box, his is 5 metal fingers deep with a built in amp. For me it is like a metal finger plucking harp. It always takes me away.
So we all go to visit and he has a mutal friend staying with him, Royal. Royal prepared a fantastic salad and beautiful raw pie!!!! Yum Yum Yum. I provided my homemade salad dressing which I am currently trying to get on the Whole Foods shelves, avacados, fresh almond milk. We had our salad and then went on a hike. It was not a stroll, it was a 1.5 mile hike in and down where we came to a stream and waterfalls and a water hole which Shannon, Royal, Soul and Jai got into and swam. Both Shannon and Royal knew that they were going to have to carry the young men out, it was a challenge, but so worth the joy we all witnessed them experiencing. It was something for me too considering I had Ace in a sling and that was the most rigorous aerobic thing I have accomplished in months. Amazing. I felt the burn and the sweat on the trek out and up the mountain. I am on my way to regaining myself physically.
I am stil buzzing from how much natural stimuli I received. I need to be doing things like that on a weekly basis. So good to feel so oxygenated.
