 NOWHERE!!! I just came out from the middle of NOWHERE! Which is my favorite way of being SOMEWHERE!! When going on a 3 day trek through the jungles of Thailand one could also replace the word ‘trek’ with climb, scramble, mud-fest, sweat-fest, steam-fest, slip’n’slide, glory walk, obstacle course, elephant pilgrimage, mad walk, cliff-hanging tightrope walk, water-falling dolphin swim, etc. I also managed to remain on earth for the entire duration….except for those 3 times of course when the following happened:
Also magnificent was our guide Ong, a zen man with bamboo tats with protective forces, a head that peers around like a mirror-CAT and a machete that he wields with superhero accuracy. His sign is the rabbit but he has a tattoo on his wrist for TIGER energy to balance out the soft spirit. He was never in a rush… ‘time is time’ he says… ah, he can read the moons and minds better than I! When people aren’t happy he takes it personally…a beautiful spirit! To him I bode well. After days of scaling muddy embankments, hacking through tall stalks of grass and palms, eating rice and curry, flying above elephants, falling in love only with the magic of the jungle view, getting pummeled through waterfall slides and riding bamboo rafts down a river, I came out of the creature that is the jungle…so very much alive, and even more alive myself. But 24! Even for a super hero that’s some mid-twenties we’re talkin….not early 20’s…MID-TWENTIES…so here’s to a year of good fortune (Ong read my palm and said if I helped the poor I would win the ‘big lotto’), achieving goals, showing up adventure girl, FIGHTING EVIL and bountiful love!   Add Comment In Vietnam, they often refer to themselves in the 3rd person…so I asked myself a few days ago, what does Lady Lightwave NEED right now? The answer was clear. I was just getting over a flash flood of MALARIA… not even superheroes are protected against even the most basic human ailments of common cold. At least not from the very human-like planet I fell from. In fact, wherever I was born in that bursting expanse of the UNIVERSE (I like to think I was born with the IMPLOSION of a baby star from the gravity line of the watery planet Rarabrala because they have the most beautiful little stars- trillions of them that are warm to the touch and leave anyone born during the time of an implosion with an aura of sparkling moonset waters for that lifetime. I would like to have a sparkling moonset aura… and since I have never been to a SEER to know what color of aura I DO have I am not without hope that I could be from Rarabrala! However, the actual chances of that are about 1: 900000000000000000000.) Like, I was saying, wherever I was born, the human-like species is not protected from such things as the common cold, malaria, or PINK EYE. The latter has actually been the worst. Had I not misplaced my RolliTimeFlex while I was out partying on Pub Street in Siem Reap, Cambodia I could have seen that I was indeed going to have a string of ailments hit me in the near future and washed my hands accordingly. FAIL. So what does LLWave NEED with her malaria battled body and two TERRIBLE sticky pink eyes that make me look like I’m from The Planethatmustnotbenamed? The OCEAN! THIS SKY WATER CHILD has been away from the seas for TOO LONG. And of course in my decision to leave this interior temple land, I trudge along doing things the slow human way because I simply do not know when I could run into my soulmate... And I highly doubt that I would cross pass with him mid-cloud…Unless of course he was painting the clouds…I hear there are brilliant artists from the planet Colourcalma that paint the clouds with absolutely brilliant scenes every day! But I am not on that planet. I am on EARTH! BEAUTIFUL CONTAGIOUS EARTH! Sooo instead I will ride the terribly slow buses with my sunnies on that shade the world with a golden glow, and hope that perhaps my curly-haired soft t-shirt artistic soulmate will also happen to be on that sleeper bus. FAIL. As usual. Epic fail this time because I got crammed into the very end seat in between 2 guys much too young for me and another rather weird guy that kept falling over on me as he dozed off…and so I went downstairs and slept on the floor with the baggage beside the hobbit toilet. (I did wake up a couple times to go FLOAT amidst the clouds just in case someone from Colourcalma had miraculously arrived on Earth with day-glow paint.) Eventually I arrived at an ungodly bright and early time at a guesthouse 2 blocks from the beaches of Sihanoukville. MMMMMMM! THE OCEAN! AT LAST!   I Go there Yesterday: English Speak! 07/11/2010
One of the most wonderful random experiences I've STUMBLED upon. While I was completely distracted by a day glow butterfly I ended up teaching english for the first time EVER. and again and again. these kids were beautiful...but they need so much! if you want to help buy new books or help build another school please HOLLA BACK!   Following the will of the elephant. 07/10/2010
CHECK!!   Le Enfant Plaza in DC only lacks an Elefant 07/10/2010
Two amazing forces of energy unite somewhere in the realm of the Elephant Temple (for lack of its proper name). There is JOY and LOVE and I want nothing more than to stand with this joy and love allllll day long and pet this huge ancient wisened creature in the company of my amazing friend Jen. Note: I am 70% sure, optimistically speaking, that I tapped into the elephant's psyche and heard him say: FLY HIGH. Do not wait to express LOVE. ASSEMBLE a FORCE. mrararararaBanana. This random speak is not unlike the verbal flair of my father's pet MACAW, Raucous. I do love random speak, we do well in each other's company-- and because these words rung so well with me of course I LISTENED!  | Lady LightwaveSuper hero ArchivesSeptember 2010 CategoriesAll |
