“The best part of life is not just surviving, but thriving – with passion and compassion, and humor and stye, and generosity and kindness.” Maya Angelou -
Start the day with an open air rose petal bath
From the rose petal bath ‘til the last gamolan musician packed up his instrument and silently left into the night, my 70th birth day will always be a very, very special memory…a myriad of unforgettable sensations…bright colors and the strange shapes of untold numbers of doorways and shrines, sounds of monsoon-intensity rains and then, the strange but, harmonic music coming from unfamiliar instruments, the relief from the heat given by gulps of icy beer and the excitement of flavors and textures experienced at our Balinese feast, the amazingly graceful movements of the dancer’s fingers, head, and feet, the smells of a wood fire burning somewhere not so far away, the costumes, the battalions of scooters attacking from all sides, and yes, the martini with three olives.
Now, with the birthday behind me, we’ll move on to other preoccupations…and there will be many.
I am blessed and…I am grateful. We are blessed.
