Hola amigos!
The time is a funny thing. I don't really understand it. Sometimes a connection with one person gives you a feeling of years of friendship and sometimes something that is long, pass in a blink of the eye.
I have been quiet here for a reason. Not that I didn't have what to say or free time to write but it felt good to try digest my experience first.
I have been cooking delicious vegan food in the lush hilly valley of Costa Rica for nearly 2 months now. As a lover of colours and tropical fruit, there was an enormous inspiration for me here. I still don't understand how the land here can produce such bizarre looking, tasting fruit. Absolutely spoiled by nature!
And in fact talking about the nature, I have never seen so many weird looking insects in my entire travellers life. Huge cockroaches seem so normal to me now. Nature is funny and so creative!
Colibris, huge butterflies, vultures, toucans, eagles, colourful parrots, cikades, howling monkeys, random animals that I don't even know their names, well, Costa Rica is indeed so lucky of this huge diversity.
I did though miss a bit of culture on this land. Mexico spoilt me for that.
My days went by creating food (and eating of course :)), drawing and singing and naked river swimming, and making new friends, and going inside of myself. I reflected about my life, about who I am and how to be powerful and empower others. I talked to the moon and the sun and asked for their suppport to give love to my darker sides that are sometimes hard to accept. I felt irritation and melancholy, joy and connection, stuckness and freedom.
And now I feel gratitude. To be walking the path I chose, to be couragious enough to believe in magic and make it my own reality. To stand for my truths and expand my sometimes limited beliefs. Just a dancer of life.
And... I am a persistent lover. If I love something, I walk with determination. So.... I bought myself a ticket to that so damn incredible country. You know what I am talking, right?
I'll see you in Mexico,
With love and gratitude all the way from the tropics in Costa Rica,
Ligita
