Platinum Anniversary
for 100 days
of blogging today
and only half
of the amazing
experiences I'm living
have been recorded.
In fact through blogging
I realise how amazing life is
as it puts
a reflective element
in every day.
Just like today
for instance,
where blogging
wasn't even part of any
thought process
at any part of the day.
Today
we set off for the beach.
Protaras
is the land of
promised paradise.
And on a good day,
between May and October,
it is.
But today is
windy April
and Fig Tree Bay
has red flags on;
something I haven't
witnessed before!
Gregg asks if people
surf
and I had said
there are no waves.
Yet here we are,
standing before
a wavy Fig Tree Bay.
We move to the other
side of the coast
where it's less windy.
Gregg and Alex
go for exploration
of the cliffs,
and Hanna
sets her tanning game on
while I get the colouring book
the girls have bought me
out.
I'm using some markers
I got from the hostel
and I still wonder
if they were Sawsan's
and if she had left them there
on purpose.
The sun
is fun
and I've missed it.
Right on time
as I finish colouring
the guys come back and
hunger strikes the group.
We set off for food.
In our lil car
with our lil familyyy.
We finish eating
gyros
right in time
for the sunset
and arrive
at the rocks I've been
eagerly wanting to take
everyone at.
It's actually Alex's
birthday today
and though we haven't
been making
a big deal
about it
this is like a gift moment.
The view is amazing
and we have all shared
a space for ourselves
and for each other
during the long
but instant
moments
we have been there.
The time seems
inexistent
and not even
the sunset
triggers
any sense of
movement.
We are still
and grounded.
We start to play
a tribal game
of stakkado
singing
of repetition
of repetition
of any phraze
of any phraze
and any sOund-
and any sOund-
as the night faaa'alls
as the night faaa'alls
N we just bond
N we just bond.
