Remember "Greening the Deser"
Remember Sibun talking about this, it incorporates things we learned throughout the course and much from our darling last stay at BARC. Check this killer video out!

"Eat Pray Love"
One of the most beautiful books I've read, it speaks of one great adventure!
"I love you, I will never leave you, I will always take care of you. Those were the first words I ever wrote in that private notebook of mine, which I would carry with me from that moment forth, turning back to it many times over the next two years, always asking for help--and finding it even when I was most deadly sad or afraid. And that notebook, steeped through with that promise of love, was quite simply the only reason I survived the next years of my life"
by Elizabeth Gilbert

"Oh, my ways are strange ways and new ways and old ways,
And deep ways and steep ways and high ways and low,
I'm at home and at ease on a track that I know not,
And restless and lost on a road that I know."
"Oh, my ways are strange ways and new ways and old ways,
And deep ways and steep ways and high ways and low,
I'm at home and at ease on a track that I know not,
And restless and lost on a road that I know."

WOW!!! That video!
Ceiba that video is out of this world, really, it's in the world of the tropics that took place once on earth with last year's tribe. How did you discover this gem? I love it soooo much and now can show family and friends a real life recording of life down in our most beloved memory bank. I hope all are well, with all the sincerity my heart can manage, I miss you all and hope that I can once again get close to you folks or folks who are just like you all.
Much love
I have great updates on where I am in the story of life but there will be a right time soon to sit down and write it. I'll let you all know how and where I am!

This is the video made by the guy in last year's program...okay, so it isn't us, but the places and the people haven't changed!
I love you all and I miss you... I have to trust myself, for often when I try to remember what we experienced I have a hard time convincing my now-body that it actually happened... and only a month ago!(???) Anyway, I look forward to having time to let everyone know what life has got swirling around my ankles and between my ears... for now I am busy shuffling around the contents of my days and trying to identify and satisfy my needs amidst this familiar but astoundingly foreign environment.
...
and the quote I am sitting on today...
"And the time came when the risk it took to remain in a tightly closed bud became infinitely more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
-- Anaiis Nin
love love love...

So! My crappy pictures are finally on the world wide web for all to see!

The Master Cleanse was pretty good. I only did it for two days, but went through an entire thing of maple syrup! It's nice because its all you eat (or drink), but you still get sugars and minerals for energy, so it's not as bad as a fast. I've never gone an entire day without eating anything solid, so the first day was a challenge for me, but I want to do it again, only this time for like 5 days. Here's the exact recipe: fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice, grade B maple syrup, and as much cayenne pepper as you can stand. I've heard a 1-1 ratio of lemon juice to syrup, but I've also heard 2-1, so I just do whatever sounds/tastes good. I've also heard different amounts for what a single serving is, so I would just drink whatever sufficiently filled me up. Basically, 4 Tblsp lemon juice to 2-4 Tblsp syrup is about one serving (you like how this is the EXACT recipe?), and I would drink 4-6 of those per day. Then drink a little detox tea that has some good herbs in it (I recommend Triple Leaf Detox tea) and a laxative tea (to keep your poops moving and get those toxins out!).
The Tats are good, still on my feet, and seem like they want to stay there forever
OMG I almost forgot to tell a ridiculous story! So, I'm workin at Falafel last night, and this guy comes in that looks EXACTLY like Jimmy! I take his order, ask him if its for here or to go, and get his name - Jaime, pronounced Highmae - a little weird. I got his drink and asked him where he was from (because he looked Belizean) and he said Mexico. I told him that I met someone in Belize that looks exactly like him (just to see what he would say), and he responded with "Oh, we're good people"... Weird. It can't be Jimmy, but how scary would that be if he had this alter-Jaime-ego?!?!
Another wierd story, so those beautiful orange and black seeds that we found in the Bladen that King helped me drill through and string VANISHED along with the solidarity ring that King made! Literally, that beautiful necklace was there when I went to sleep and gone when I woke up in the morning, and it has yet to be found! The ring was a little big, so its a little more understandable that it might have just slipped off. But either way, two of my most treasured possessions from Belize, two pieces of jewelry, both made of natural things, both made by King, both having an incredible postive energetic charge, have dissapeared from my life, at least for now. I wonder where they'll turn up...
I love you all and miss you more than anything. Your pictures are fantastic!
