Back to the ritual of stretching - even if I can't remember the routine my body does. Front bends, seated bends, repetitive stretches to strengthen upper back and sit ups for the core. Being on vacation and immersed in the daily therapy of nature I almost don't feel the need for the routine because I'm biking and swimming and walking on the beach, but to return to it feels like home.
I am at home within my body. Solid standing tree pose on both legs this morning. I could not have done that a year ago. Balance and routine. I feel myself returning to what I know because I know I have to leave soon. Just a day or so more. I will listen to the news again and hear that our government seems to be preparing us for war of some kind somewhere. It seems the logical conclusion as way to avoid the uncovering of extensive corruption and incompetence. No one wants to unseat a commander and chief during war time.
What I wish is to remain here where I can engage in thalassotherapy every day. Where the waves are gentle and lapping when I swim and the terns fly above my head under warm and sculptured sky.
Someday soon...someday...I will swim everyday in these warm waters.
