Tomorrow I say goodbye to Cleveland and set off for my trip to Mexico. For the past twenty years I have made the same journey. I will remember when I drive through the gates that this place is a special home to me for a week – as much home as my apartment. In the morning I will wake up and sit on my balcony to drink coffee and listen to the birds as daybreak comes. My mind pictures every place and every thing I will encounter there. And I know that after a glorious week I will be ready to return home, until next time.
I say goodbye for now to you, my blog friends. Hasta la vista.
Coming Home Mexico Travel

Abundant memories like post cards in a drawer
Souvenirs remind me of once-upon-times
Bewildering exhausting thoughts swirling around me
Leave me truly feeling that I’m lost in space
I’m packing my suitcase to travel to Mexico
Yet one more time after twenty good years
The flight a challenge to my flagging energy
Can I pull it off once again?
New wrinkle this time – I don’t go alone.
A call from my brother-in-law
Asking me about laundry
Put things in perspective
Later that day walking home from the grocery
Mundane moment the sort that is suitable
For mulling and musing and hoping for answers
Then voila! one arrived when I opened my door.
I breathed in bright energy from the present moment
The space I inhabit is filled with Now.
This is my anchor, the place where I start from
Who knows when or where I will fly?

Squirrel begins day
Admires nature’s handiwork
Breakfasts on tree buds

Winter’s winding down
Tiny buds adorn the trees
Birds are building nests
Cover’s off the pool
Dirty water visible
Mind’s eye sees sun screen

Clock ticks day begins
Candle flickers as I pray
Peace for all on Earth

Fur coat keeps him warm

Frosty midnight sky
Pale full moon with gentle glow
Beams me off to sleep
