This will be short, but just want everyone to know I have made it to Sicily after an eight hour bus ride! It was really something looking out over the barge that carries the automobiles from Italy to Sicily, knowing I would soon be where my Grandfather spent his first 20 years. I never met my Grandfather. He died 2 months before I was born, but I have felt his presence all of my life. I know he is one of my angels.
As one of my good friends recently told me, travelling has its ups and downs...There are moments that I am so overwhelmed with the beauty around me I wish I could capture it some way to share. When all of my senses are experiencing something that comes together in an extraordinary space in time. I am so filled with gratitude emotion can overwhelm me. I also have moments where I feel so stripped of everything I have identified with...so raw...so naked. I want to run from a feeling that is impossible to escape. There is no where to go that will make me more connected to what is already here...my Self. So it is in this space that I am learning to ALLOW in a way I never have before. In a sense, I am even more grateful for these moments...because they create more room for the kind I spoke of first.
I have met a great girl at this farm and her company has brought home to me. Her presence is a blessing and we are having fun harvesting olives (and enjoying the fruit of our labor :) and building fences...and eating...and eating...and eating, lol!
All is well...All is well...
Love, Peace, and Blessings
