40 hours in Brazil, feels like a lifetime has passed. What a journey this has been so far! Last night, when I was getting driven home by some fellow zouk dancers, one of the instructors by the name of Beto, gave a very accurate and eloquent description of Rio de Janeiro. As we were passing by the favelas on our way back to Copacabana just before dawn, I saw what he meant by "Rio is a purgatory of both beauty and chaos". What a beautiful and challenging trip it has been. My partner Natalie is completely ill, and my health wanes back and forth. I woke up this morning with a cold, and lay in bed for two hours trying to regain some energy for the day. My stomach is healing I believe, but at the same time, I can't really tell. I have followed the strict diet and rules of recovering from gastritis and it has helped a lot. I anticipate with all my heart this trip I am to take to Albadiania. Not just for me, but with my loved ones in mind, I wish for deep healing to be transferred onward to them during the 10 days I am there. When I return from Brazil, my intention is to enjoy the remaining time I have left in Toronto, a city and time I have spent there that so greatly contributed to my spiritual growth. I have nothing but the utmost gratitude and appreciation for the two years I lived there, and integrated into such a sweet community of souls, deep friendships whose generosity and devotion bring tears to my eyes. I am so grateful for all of these people that have come into my life. They have shown me love in ways I had not experienced before. I want to close the chapter of my time in Canada with sincere love and appreciation. As of yet, it is still not clear where I will be moving to, but I welcome with open arms the possibility of a home and community, radiant in abundance, stability and loving temperament in the midst of nature and warm climate. A place where my healing and creative arts can be offered as a way of career and contribution back to. I am so ready for this. I shift and surrender myself entirely to this process of transformation. I am ready for a home. For roots. For love. |
