Here’s a track from the soundtrack of my trip.
This song was playing at an open air bar/dance club just a few meters away. I was sitting on the beach in front of a bonfire on Gili Air with a group of new friends I’d made there. We were all talking about our lives. How they’d all met, where we might all be going. Laughing a lot. I traveled alone, but found I never was alone. It was the trip’s great gift, the company and wisdom of new friends. They were from Sweden, a guy and four girls. The guy and his girlfriend were very sweet and invited me to have dinner with them earlier that night. What struck me about him was how gentlemanly he was, making sure I had a glass of wine and that I knew everyone. Later that night I would discover the heartache he’d suffered. The gal I spoke with most of the night is an artist-yogi. A few Spanish gals and I would dance until morning.
My guru on Bali said in life three things are certain: Everyone will die, everyone will grow older, everyone will lose all that they have.
I hope to dance barefoot on the beach. Often.
I think after reading this, I’d like to dance barefoot on the beach too, Laura. And I’m not usually a fan of the beach… but I realise it’s something that must be done 🙂 xx
Suzy, thanks for stopping by 😀 You say when and where and I’ll be right there with you! (Greek islands? Mallorca?)
