XXIII. Release your Mind - Express your Heart






After a 5 hours of training on the boat (more or less), I was ready to soak in the local hot springs. As Charlie says, as the intensity rises it is important to have fun. Anais and I made the journey to the 600+ year old turkish baths - an old white structure with one small pool filled with very hot waters. To our dismay, the baths have been boarded up...again.

Apparently these springs are supposed to be for public use. The owner of the building adjacent runs a hotel-like building in the summer where people can rent rooms for private bathing. In the winter, the locals usually have free reign of the healing waters.

Not this year. We have visited these springs many times, and they have been open some and locked others. For some reason, today it made me extremely frustrated to arrive to a locked door on top of one of Mother Earth's greatest gifts - hot water.

Exploitation of our earth and her animals for the capitalization of individuals is a crime.

Europeans split up Nations as they created countries with borders. We are living in a world separated from each other through culture, language, money, beliefs, religion, and invisible lines (or walls). The new paradigm exists ~ and it will be reached through unity.

Believe that we can find peace through unity, and so shall it be. Imagine a world free of borders, free of nonsense rules, and free of capitalization on the exploitation of other humans beings, animals, plants, minerals, etc.

We are on the front lines of European culture meeting Middle eastern. When I look in the refugees' eyes, I see a human being. We bleed the same blood, breathe the same air, and eat the same food. We may not speak the same language, though we can feel each others hearts through joy or fear.

Release your mind - connect to your heart - bring heaven back on earth.
