I am presently in California...Los Gatos...in the mountains with a lot of trees and I love it!
Don't wanna go back to NYC.
Today I decided to dance for the trees...there's this little area near a pond, that has a stage/platform and audience seating (made of logs), but I made the trees my audience instead of people.
And I found it challenging to dance for them than to dance for the angels or people. It surprised me but I found it challenging to do so.
BUt I managed it anyway and they appreciated and loved it.
It felt..different.
I am doing a seminar for school which is why I am in Northern California right now...
DOn't want to go back to NYC....

i dont want you to go back! You're in the southmost part of the BEAUTIFUL pacific northwest! You're in GOD'S Country now! Try to extend your stay as long as possible lol It's too bad you're not further north, western Washington is amazingly beautiful, and most of Oregon as well. Im going campping in the second week of September for the whole week. we'll be going out in the middle of nowhere for a week with NO ONE around most the time we're there! we're even campping off the beaten path, not in a designated camp ground. it's going to be SO sweet.

No place like that here... I'm sad to say that the wildest place around where I live isprobably the STL Zoo....

The trees see beauty, and know it. People...get a glimpse and cling. It's easier to impress the ignorant and naive, than those whom understand it and appreciate it. You were nervous is all, only because you had a more appreciating and wiser audience.
I'm glad you're having fun, sis.

The trees see beauty, and know it. People...get a glimpse and cling. It's easier to impress the ignorant and naive, than those whom understand it and appreciate it. You were nervous is all, only because you had a more appreciating and wiser audience. Yes, I was nervous, but afterward felt so connected and loved, it was an amazing experience! So I decided to go and dance there again. It was around noon at the time, and there was an area of sunlight through the canopy of the trees that illuminated the platform, with a shadow of the tree splitting the oval of sunlight in half. I wanted to 'see' myself dance without looking at my body, I wanted to see the essence of it without hte aesthetics, and decided to record it with my camera. And boy was THAT amazing. So much so, that I was INVITED by the trees to return the following day to collect a gift from them. And what a gift it was. First, I had to speak to a specific tree (very motherly) before going to another tree. The second tree had a HUGE trunk with two trees extending fom it, known as 'Mother, Sister, Father, Brother (that's the identity/name that was given to me by the tree). Then I was told to collect three pine cones, and to not return to the area until it was time (sometime in the distant future). I realized that in my enthusiastic and true desire to NOT return to NYC, it was granted....and so I am having a troublesome time finding a decent priced return home ticket. If US airways is going to charge me $65 dollars for my bag (since I cannot carry dirt in my carry-on bag...a gift from the trees) adding to the cost of the ticket which will total to about $315 more or less, adding the extra cost to give to the kind woman that will let me stay with her for how ever many nights I will be in town, I might as well leave Saturday...which will cost me $369 one-way on Jetblue..... Hmmm....I will book tomorrow morning to see if there is a change in the prices, because it always happens... Me too, big borther. Such a magical happening this day and night, I cried and danced, and feel excited about this new school year and the people i've met.
