I'll be honest, so much has happened in the past week, and whilst it has been my intention to document it all, in all honesty I have just been so completely immersed in it that I have forgotten. It's been one amazing experience after another.
What I do know though is that I have felt happier in this past week then I have done for a very long time. I have felt alive, I have felt excited, I have felt the zest for life and don't get me wrong - everyday I have felt the anticipation, the feeling of being on the edge or outside of my comfort zone, but this is living. I know little about many things I am learning about here and this takes me into the territory of unfamiliar. I always used to hate 'not knowing', I used to see it as a weakness but a new perspective has been shared during my stay here at the finca by the beautiful hosts Woodey and Kirsty; there is no weakness only opportunity.
So here I am am, faced with massive opportunity. Opportunity to learn, to explore, to discover to grow. I'm learning about law, scripture, nature, permaculture and I am enjoying every single moment. We all have opportunity awaiting us...
It is my intention to try to capture more frequently as so much goodness happens in one day but for now, just a summary...
We played by the river and skinny dipped, covering iri skin in red clay, we have done yoga both morning and evening on sun heated rocks, wandered among olives trees, sipped cafe con leche in the town, chattered for hours on end, cleared terraces, dug water holding pools, laughed, cried, sang (Kirsty at the finca hosts an amazing karaoke night) had film night (courtesy of Finca film night)...
And you know the best part (which has been highlighted by Woodey and Kirsty) the most beautiful moments in life often involve no cost. Just a handful of good people, a sense of honour, humility and love. This is what humans require to survive, not what we are being sold everyday through media.
Sending so much love out to each and everyone of your reading this and setting the intention for you to find the courage to step out into the unfamiliar to Allow yourself to find what living is for you, here's the clue - it will likely involve you being somewhat uncomfortable, but I promise you it's worth it 💛
