Leaving on a jet plane…Don’t know when I’ll be back again 😉 Ahhh- but I do know I will be returning to Loreto and Baja California Sur, Mexico over and over again!
I have been hypnotized by its beauty, serenity and simplicity.

And I love climbing rock, wearing minimal amounts of clothing on a beach and being in the blazing sun for hours. 

OR

~Is it the dusty roads?
~The simplicity of the life?
~The goats, cows and horses on the roads?
~The scorpions!
~The infectious joy of the people?
~The children playing in the streets?
~The daily freshly caught fish?
~The Sea of Cortez chocolate clams? (I generally don’t eat clams and I seem to never have enough of these brown shelled clams!)
~The freshly made lemon, orange or my favorite coconut ice pops every night for 16pesos?
~Loving and caring friends that open up their home to me?

It is all of these things and something more. Is it the time in my life that is calling this experience in? 

I don’t have the answers to any of these questions right now while I sit in the (overly) air-conditioned airport waiting to board my flight back to the States.

I call these moments ~My Ponderings~(not a word in the dictionary but its mine)

Is this a continuation of my last two blog posts about sadness and happiness or a variety of emotions in general?

I cried saying goodbye to Peg and Eric this morning. Are these sad tears, tears or joy, tears of friendship and love? They are all of those and more.

They are tears of a life so filled and abundance and love.
They are tears of a joy that I cannot describe right now or maybe ever.
Nor do I feel the need to describe or prescribe a meaning to them.

And this leads me back to my last few posts. We want everything to be described and given definitions or possibly a prescription so that we can “feel” better and have the illusion of knowing what’s going on.
~She or he can say a certain thing and someone will counter by offering “Maybe they are depressed?”
~There is a pain in my______ (whatever part of the body). Response: Maybe it’s __________?
(Fill in the blanks)!

What happened to not knowing or thinking we know everything? Where is the mystery in life? We have google at our fingertips (and believe me I love it a lot) I can digress and talk about using an encyclopedia and remember feeling the pages and the smell of those books but I DO NOT MISS THEM!

Try asking yourself~

~WHERE IS THE MYSTERY IN MY LIFE NOW?
~Try sitting for a short time in the Unknown and allow yourself to risk discovering what might be revealed through the silence and contemplation of that moment?
