Entries this week!
Tofino - storm season preferably
Fog, rain, cold... Chesterman beach, south part, by the island. I’ve just surfed for a few hours, I sit on the beach, tired, wet, salted, catching my breath.
Raw, beautiful, untouched, nature is all around me. A few souls on the beach, my soulmate still surfing in the water. The waves are crashing, one after another... and I am watching, only a little human part of something much bigger.
Wind on my face, rain on my cheeks, I’ve never felt so alive, so present, only this moment matters.
And if I wait long enough, sun will come out of the clouds, offering us the most glorious sunset.
Our happy place... where we also realized we were expecting our first son, because that day I had such a hard time catching my breath, I knew a new life had started to grow in me.
With all my heart (and my bad English)

On the other side of the planet,
in a city fenced by mountains on the North,
in a middle class neighbourhood located on a hill,
there is a modest North facing house.
On the south side of the house,above the court yard,
there is a balcony with a wide cement edge to sit on.
This balcony hosted me from sunrise to sunset,
from the first rays of sunshine and birds songs in the morning,
to a pleasant patchy shadow from an old tree hovering over in the hot lazy afternoons,
to a cool breeze which washed away the heat and the noise of the day in the evenings.
This cozy balcony, in this modest house which was mostly built with my fathers hands and maintained by my mothers loving care,
is the space i take my soul to rest, to remember, to reconnect with the whole,
even though non of the above no longer physically exists.

My bed is so cozy and warm and I have all my stuffies there and I like to read there. My sister isn't allowed in my bed, so it is very quiet. I LOVE MY BED!
