bliss.

ah, travel. the split-second decisions as simple as should i go right or left?, the surprise of new friendships, the unmatchable beauty of see(k)ing a place with fresh eyes. i danced at rastafarian reggage shows. i ate plantains and ackee. i climbed a waterfall. i got a sunburn and freckles on my nose. i was proposed to by my taxi driver. i hitchhiked a ride with a colorado bluegrass band. i did sun salutations on a cliff overlooking the ocean. i bought shell earrings on the side of the road. i awoke naturally to the sunrise. i drank red stripe before noon. i cliff jumped. i got stung by a jellyfish. i stood on my hands. i slowed down. i was able to just be without the distractions of everyday life.

"tension is who you think you should be. relaxation is who you are."
