It's a beautiful Life

Well after these two weeks of grounding, healing (yes we're finally better!) and absorbing Ubud is starting to feel like home. :)
Yesterday me and ike went on a journey, trying to get to Kuta by Mo-ped and decided... weeelll our lives are more important than getting the computer fixed at this moment! Peopel are totally insane drivers here. They do have their own rthym, which is everyone just drive wherever you want, on either side of the road and make three or four lane roads whenever you want.... buut i think it's going to take a little adjusting before we can sink into that groove! We got to the major freeway which would lead us to the tourist capital of Indonesia and just turned around and went home :P
Now back in little back country Ubud we've become hardened road warriors!

Other than driving escapades we went to the monkey temple forest which was built in the mid 14th century, and i felt my body singing, humming in tune with the green, alive vibration of every tree, rock and statue of the place. The entropy is so high here that soon enough even hard cement gets reclaimed back into the soft earth. The moss was my favorite part (besides the silly monkeys), covering giant iguana statues, that out of their mouths sprung fresh drinkable spring water!

Me and isaac both are feeling the magic of beautiful Bali! I still feel occasional displacement and sit wondering about the mutli faceted reasons i travel, hoping their for the best.. but overall I think i'm letting myself become a part of this place. Learning the language is really helpful to know a place! Everything comes from the heart.. some of my favorites so far are Hati Hati (from my heart to yours, be careful) and Sudah Kawin? for are you married, but traslated it means aren't you married yet? haha

Oh and I go into school sort out my lesson plans tomorrow! eeeee! so excited! I've heard so much good feedback about the school and they have been so kind to me already. I'm both nervous and happy to find my place and start learning, sharing, giving and laughing. Then I'll get off isaacs case too about working so much and wanting him to adventure with me haha.

oh and I cut off some dreadlocks! I was gonna keep it a secret but then realized no one would see me for so long haha. Mmm its so nice to feel the wind on the sides of my head and touch my head again! Still kept all my big natty and favorite ones though.

Love love love, I'll write again when school is underway and how my mission here is going, and for now... MONKEYS!!! :D
