Day one

Goodbye cozy office. Goodbye cottage. Goodbye chickadee who sleeps on a nail beneath the
eave. Goodbye garden of tangled kale trees and purple Bosnian beans. Goodbye Longhorns on
the hill. I love it here. So much to enjoy, every day.
And­­­ I’m feeling delighted to adventure afar. A change in landscape, people, language, time
zones, ways of moving through the day. To get to Lisbon, Russ and I will be in airports or
planes for about twenty­four hours. My intention for this portion of the journey is to stay as fluid
and mobile as possible. And to surrender, as gracefully as I can, to it all: arduous lines,
industrial food, snoozing upright in tiny seats.
What about jet lag, I wonder? I’ve never flown across so much ocean. I’ll be experimenting with
how CranioSacral Therapy can affect our circadian rhythms, to be sure.
Well, here I go!
‘Til the next post­­­­­ from Lisbon…...
