I started this blog entry sitting on the plane from Nelson to Auckland, feeling the most incredible sense
of gratitude for the last four and a half years that I’ve spent in the Land
of the Long White Cloud, New Zealand. The sun was setting in its purest beauty as I looked out from
above, listening to some heart-opening kirtan. My whole being filled with
smiles. Hazel, my sister, said the other day on Skype that it must be really
hard for me to leave and say my goodbyes. Somehow, though, it feels totally ok
and exactly as it’s meant to be… and now on to the next chapter.
I was meaning to post a
wee blog update that I was all good to fly as we landed in Auckland airport but
it was a bit of a whirlwind of activity getting from domestic to international,
through security and on to the next plane so that didn’t happen. The next leg,
on to LA, was fine…well, about as fine as long-haul flights go and the
beautiful Oli met us the other end. Now, Kate and I are being looked after
beyond belief (well, you can believe it, its Oli after all)– a good Jewish Shabbat lunch awaiting us,
smoked salmon, pickle and olives, soup and bread, followed by snooze in a big
white cloud of a bed, hot shower, snuggley towels, the full works. Now sitting writing with a blueberry smoothie
in hand and another 24 hours or so to recuperate before we do the final leg.
All fairly straight
forward really. Each Joseph with a smile on their face and word of dinner from
a yummy veggie restaurant this eve. Whoop whoop xxx
