After Gaura & I left the Ayurvedic Natural Center we travelled together for another six months, during which I never wrote another post. Looking back I realize that I had so much opportunity to write about the dream come true life we were living together. But I couldn't bring myself to, not once. Maybe I was afraid that by putting it all in writing somehow would wake me up from the dream & the adventure would be over. Ironically when I finally did write it down & declare it into the wide world, shortly after that is when it all slipped away like a faint dream.
And now, how can I go back & try to share all the many beautiful, & sad moments when all I can feel is that it all was perfectly aligned with the highest good. We went so deep in our journey of love, it had to end messy to inspire us to flow in our own lives direction. It was just too sweet & good to stay that perfect. And, it didn't, stay that perfect. It twisted, got caught up in a storm, & exploded. But all that was shared before it all broke down was the most precious gift that still teaches me to this day!
During those remaining 6 months of my great adventure with Gaura we accomplished many beautiful things! We started a new life together in Thailand. I took a 300hr Thai Massage Training/Teacher Training Course. Gaura got his first job ever at a coffee shop, and soon after at a yoga studio! We team taught workshops at a yoga studio. We travelled Laos. We got a fancy apartment in Chiangmai & lived together. We connected with a group of Acro-Yogi's & learned intriguing new things. We explored the life of deep commitment & love & relationship, with all of the beauty & the challenge's of partnership & intimacy. We set up our own business of healing offering 4 hands Reiki, Healing Jewelry, Tarot, All Natural Facials, & Private Yoga Instruction. We travelled to the Islands & found peace & joy in the simple life. We drove motorbikes for the first time in our lives. We giggled so much I think we must have added a few years onto our lives. We faught as passionately as we did everything we did together. We nurtured one another through sickness of body & heart. We talked about everything & anything. We rented movies & munched crunchy thai snacks on many a late night. We rode around the city on one bike, Gaura would pedal, & I would sit on the little seat & giggle & smiles as the wind blew my face. We cooked yummy, fresh, healthy, vegan dishes & had a kirtan before almost every meal we ate in our little room. We sang & chanted anywhere & everywhere we went. We showed every side of ourselves, all the light & the dark!
Gaura & I ended our parallel journey in March of '08 when I ended my journey in Asia. I returned home to Washington, DC, USA, to help my mother through back surgery. We tried to hang on to our connection, to the dream future we planned, to the moment that was our moment, but it slipped away as our path's pulled us in opposite directions.
I left for the Inspirational Gypsy Summer Tour with the intention to heal, to give the gift of healing, to open, to inspire, to start over, to have a bold fresh new adventure, to teach, to learn, to find acceptance/surrender/forgiveness, to integrate the new me & the old me & to keep on living my dreams. I found all that & more!
