Mindset... open, receiving, gratitude and appreciation. Ponderous.

Its been a great begining to this awesome journey of learning and transitioning within the flow of that which is thrown at me. With every moment that changes from one to the other.

Mexico has been warm and welcoming, full of helloes and smiles, helpful and willing people. Naturals landscapes as diverse as the urban areas, and as inviting to play as any new "playground" you visit for the first time.

I have met great people and continue to do so.  New faces from around the world. Any given time an open interaction with another individual who is legitimately interested in having an exchange. Opportunities to continue to practice love and compassion with others, specially towards those who could use it most.  

Its simply been heart opening and such an exciting space to be in. Traveling "without a destination". No plans, only ideas and intentions on my conscious mind, allowing the plan to shape as it will. To flow.

My movement mind and creativity has been stimulated with the diversity of opportunities which are everywhere. Inspiring to move. Wherever the destination of the moment, a conscious step leading my way. Playing here and there as I go just because its what I do.

Im grateful for my training, for it has been the foundation to simply execute my movement in a more natural way. Letting go of my mind, while my body responds to the particular landscape and its changes. Allowing me to transition and shift smoothly on my way.

I have also gained the strength which has kept me strong during my moving from place to other. Adjusting to the load I may be carrying. I have become familiar with my skill set, which in terms has translated to more freedom of expression as I move about.  It has allowed me to be able to explore places where most people wont go. Challenging me to let go of my mind. To trust and be present. It has given me a very good friend who I get along very well with. We help each other along the way. I owe Fear a lot, but so does Fear... ;)

 I'd like to believe that for each and every moment, we are gifted with the opportunity to practice courage and awaken a more natural desire to strengthening our non physical core as well.  

Im grateful for my training and life of physical play and exploration most largely for it gifted me with the ability keep a playful and awaken spirit which also also strengthened through my experiences within my life's journey. I have gain more understanding of how our movement and momentum it always also flowing through us in our life's "run". In our every step and interactions with the world and its habitants whether human, animals, buildings or trees. To approach life In the form of play, training and exploration of self and that which you call your world or reality. As while in physical training, say a parkour jamming session, to also remind grateful, kind and respectful of that which is not necessarily mine to exploit, but rather embrace and honored as a gift to have. My body, physical and not, our space and the people we share it with... why not also life?

I have become more eager to embrace obstacles and challenges, whichever the unknown, my perspective has shifted to that of seeing only opportunities presenting everywhere. Approaching the world with commitment as I also nurture my creativity through a bit of different viewing and thinking. There is no "good or bad" per se. The definitive outcome will very often be the ability to have gained awareness, strength and knowledge of self, body mind and spirt and the world that you create with your "run".

I have and continue to learn how to best transition my momentum, to flow harmoniously and in tune with my route and the way I interact with the world. To be light on my "feet" and aware of my "touch" as I approach my way. I have learned to take falls and also to learn how to get back up. To slow down when needed, speed up when necessary. To be aware of the moments which can aid to catch that which seems unreachable. To grip tightly to the opportunities presented and to learn how and when to let go of that which is not longer serving purpose. I continue to also learn how to be appreciative for the every experience and interaction that has lead me to this moment. A more open and conscious sense of myself and how I can affect my flow through the every interaction within my reality. Which can change any given time.

I have become aware of the teacher as well of the student in me. I have gained the ability to take calculated and some not so calculated risk and flow with whats on the other side. To adapt.

And with that in mind, Im presently give the very open opportunity to adapt to the reality on this very moment. As I type my heart open in appreciation for the movement and beautiful flow of life, I feel I do it to share with you all, as much as also to remind myself, to stay strong and aware of the very present and positive outcome of things.

Earlier today during some of my play time, I took a fall. While I did get up, I was not unharmed. My right knee took some damage going in direction it should not. Im hoping on one foot and my knee looks like a melon. I'll be in need of some R.I.C.E and maybe some TLC time before I get some momentum going again. I feel my flow has been slowed down, yet as a reminder from the waters of the earth I have had the fortune to spend my time with, a message comes. "The creek will always finds its natural flow". There lies a river within my veins, strongly flowing. I desire for life and courage within my heart to stay wide open.

So its now time for practice, of that which my training in life has given me. To find a way to adapt and continue an transition into this very present. To practice patience, compassion, love. To remind playful and a child spirit... just cuz children heal REEEEEALY fast :)

If there is anything you could do is, take a moment to be still, to tune in and become aware, appreciative and grateful for the blessings and fortunes in you life, of loved ones and even those sour moments. To realize it could always be worse. And with that state of meditation, send me some lovings, fast recovery thoughts and healing love my way... Right knee location. =)... If it helps, Im in Mexico, you can share your love with all of it, and a little of Central America as well... maybe just go all out and spread it world wide. Some might need it more than me as well.

With much aloha in my heart, I thanks you taking the time to read this... Your were brave ;)
