learning to dance with the sea and the wind

despite the fact that i have spent most of my life as a clumsy girl not well connected to my body, today i was in the ocean (a relatively new phenomenon)and with my kite in one hand and the ocean in my other i played with the universe, danced with the wind and let my partner lead, i was dragged and twisted, pulled across the world and swept away into the nothingness of each moment.
*almost lost my suit a few times and lost my mind once or twice as well.
i am embarassed to admit that i had a temorary relapse into childhood : had a brief fit of frustration and incapability. even cried. which i have been meaning to do for a long time now. so that was nice to get over with. I hope that i managed to recover my dignity somewhat... and despite it all managed to have a good day in the ocean. i can fly the kite in the water and the kite can fly me. I am learning all this in spanish which in-it-self is a testament to what else i am learning here... i cant totally express myself smoothly or rapidly, but i undertand. yo entiendo siempre. I understand the essence of it all. and with the lessons i feel like i have found something i will love for the rest of this life.
i am dreaming of owning chickens, growing a garden, learning to play the bagpipes and flying my kite and dancing with the wind... SIERRA IS TRUNING INTO A PERSON SHE NEVER THOUGHT WAS POSSIBLE:
watch out! when she comes back you might have to be patient... getting to know her. already a bit different. i dont know how my friends and family put up with me. i travel so much and am different when i come back. thank you... for loving each of me. xo. un beso.
