Vision Quest Blast Off!

Wow! What a first 24 hours it has been... finally getting on the road has been such a relief... sinking into the present moment of being with myself in the world has felt like a deep sigh releasing a built up constriction throughout every molecule of my being. Since I have no specific goals or destinations I am able to access new and unfamiliar patience and curiosity in my movement.

I decided to take the back road from Raton, NM with the idea of heading through Taos into Santa Fe. It was a beautiful drive... I saw deer and blue jays... vistas and mountains... but I arrived in Taos late afternoon and not far from sunset. I enjoyed a fabulous dinner of shrimp tacos in the tiniest little restaurant I had ever seen! 

Walking back to my car, I was drawn into a shop where I met the most amazing people! Another gentleman was on the first day of his vision quest as well. :) I indulged in a short psychic reading and was told that I had a group of laughing dancing joyful monks in brown robes guiding and assisting me in this journey, smile! They encouraged me to  surrender, allow and be light and playful.... ahhhh.... sounds good to me. :)))

When I shared with the psychic that my biggest fear was where I would sleep along the way, she told me about a hostel close by! I was so excited to have a landing spot for my first night!! It was a funky eclectic place with lots of interesting characters including one man who appeared to be schizophrenic. But most people were delightful and I was even invited to play a game of Spades. 

With the advent of Daylight Savings Time, I’ve decided to work more with the light of the sun…  and getting to bed early in my dorm bunk allowed me and my trusty companion, Buller, to be on the road around 7am! It was a chilly morning in the 20’s and my car was covered in frost... brrrrrrr..... ready now to head towards warmer regions!

Distant hugs to you all <3
