Unstuck in the World

"There was once a man who became unstuck in the world – he realized that he was not his car, he realized that he was not his job, he was not his phone, his desk or his shoes. Like a boat cut from its anchor, he’d begin to drift."

 

"There was once a man who became unstuck in the world – he took the wind for a map, he took the sky for a clock, and he set off with no destination. He was never lost."

"There once was a man who became unstuck in the world – instead of hooks or a net, he threw himself into the sea. He was never thirsty."

"There was once a man who became unstuck in the world – with a Polaroid camera he made pictures of all the people he met, and then he gave all the pictures away. He would never forget their faces."

"There was once a man who became unstuck in the world – and each person he met became a little less stuck themselves. He traveled only with himself and he was never alone."

"There was once a man who’d become unstuck in the world – and he traveled around like a leaf in the wind until he reached the place where he started out. His car, his job, his phone, his shoes – everything was right where he’d left it. Nothing had changed, and yet he felt excited to have arrived here – as if this were the place he’d been going all along."

Castles in the Sky

typical boulder saturday

Last Saturday in Boulder for a month...its 145pm and I'm about to embark on a whirlwind of plane rides and airports en route to Central America...this is my Saturday so far..which I might add is absolutely typical for this beautiful part of the Rockies.

~Went to bed with a little nugget snuggled at my feet to the sound of the water rushing down the creek next to the cabin.  Woke up to bright green Christmas trees and sunshine.  Made some hot green tea (& organic agave) and maple oatmeal with dried coconut flakes and spend my morning relaxing to soundtrack of Little Feat.

Hitched a ride to downtown Boulder in less than a minute.  (This Highway 119 also known as Canyon Blvd- was rated the number one road to hitchhike on according to High Times.) Note: its usually-always a Subaru. The two people were pretty stellar, the car was filled with camping and yoga gear...String Cheese Incident was in the background.  Such a beautiful ride through the mountains, never gets old...we sang to music and they made the sound effects...got dropped off right in the farmers market in DT Boulder.

Walked through some tents, had a shot of organic fresh pressed ginger (whew) and made it to my spa appointment. Left feeling pretty* and walked through more of the large Saturday farmers market.  Sampled Japanese white turnips, had a raw almond treat, and topped it off laying on a bench listening to music drinking Doctor D's concord sparkling water with probiotics.

Walked about 10+ blocks to what is dubbed 'The Hitching Post' right before Canyon enters the mountain en route back to the cabin.  Got a ride with another Subaru owner -very cool guy who makes jewelry with stones and feathers and is about to embark on India traveling for the next 5 months.

Walked over the beautiful wooden bridge home, made some vegan mandarin orange chick'n (@Gardein) with veg and turned back on Little Feat- sat in the front yard with some Colorado blue dream* and iced tea-looking at the Christmas trees and the sunshine. ~
