A leap into the unknown Indonesia

Shares

I took a leap into the unknown when my cousin told me she wanted to go to Bali for her 40th birthday and to live out the experience her and her late husband dreamed of. initially her best friend was going to go with her and canceled. My cousin called and explained the situation and I replied with “ if I can get the money I would hands down explore with you”, for moral support plus I wanted to compare my studies with real reality. Taxes came and it was either resign my lease or go on the trip... such an easy decision, let’s get connected! After watching 007 movies all flight I promise I could recite them start to finish, not to mentioned the lovely flight attendants stuffing us with food every chance they got I wanted off. We landed We got off and now realizing I had walked into an outside oven, Wintana greeted and guided us for the whole 10 day experience revealing the heart of their wonderful country From health and safety to good eats and all the free flowing clothing my hearts desire could buy. The bus rides were vertigo literally but there is nothing like blessing yourself with temple work and offering your shiny jewelry unwillingly to the monkeys. Much of an honor to watch the sun gods and goddesses dance with distorted body/finger work in a stone age stadium over looking the sunset and ocean there is a humbleness that insists your surrender. While outside activity is forbidden between 2-4 an all fruit cleanse massage and bronze flower bath soak insured revitalization. The locals operate their business in the front house and make a mandatory effort to spend time with their families in the back house which fills both cups and marries conflict resolution with ease. If you like natural coffee you cannot resist the Koop Luwak fortunately ima tea kind of woman but my cousin says it’s oddly pooptacular. Lol Bintang if you didn’t have one everyday in hand like what were you really doing? We can’t take away from the geckos Gentle spirits holding up the walls observing the moments. As the free time in our trip came into play my cousin and I made time on the beach guide her into reconnecting her with the presence of her late husband spiritually and blessings began to fall from her eyes. knowing her birthday was well spent together in harmony outweighed the traveling chaos But finding a good ebb and flow the experience is limitless. The freeness of love shared and welcomed wholeheartedly acceptance could well explain the increase in travel. All five faiths conduct all in one space and are all harmonious with one another giving true joy to embrace individuality. all in all the trip was well worth the sacrifice making a point you can always find a new home in the meantime in an a leap into the unknown.
