The landscape was familiar and soothing, as were the long roads, granite outcroppings, and abundance of trees.
Then I encountered things like this:
There'a- a-shield around my burger! Why is it there? What is it doing? What purpose does it serve?
And this....Jasminehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07796562618432741288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218262315044148679.post-26517110554845301812009-10-03T08:00:00.000-07:002010-04-01T04:39:47.158-07:00Well, I Crashed and Burned at Tortuga.......also known as Heathrow Airport. Where the REAL adventure began. Further stories of my time there, my eventual relocation to Finland for the summer, and my ultimate return to Canada are on their way. If anyone's still paying attention, that is.
One thing about living your life for adventure; you never quite end up where you thought you were going!Jasminehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07796562618432741288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218262315044148679.post-15143795366508606502009-06-23T05:11:00.000-07:002009-06-23T05:30:56.063-07:00Departure Day!It's the 23rd! I'm leaving! I'm actually going! At 9:00 this evening, I will board a plane bound for England and adventure; I feel like I stepped into a Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!Jasminehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07796562618432741288noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218262315044148679.post-76668588516483993402009-06-11T15:16:00.000-07:002009-06-23T05:11:44.869-07:00PowerOne of the reasons I am going to England (in 13 days!) is to tap into my own power and resiliance as a person and as a woman. Recently, I came across this video and was reminded how very powerful women can be when they sing.MeNaiset is a Finnish folk group whose songs are based on Finno-Ugric traditions, melodies, and language. It's quite startling for someone who has never heard this style of Jasminehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07796562618432741288noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218262315044148679.post-42299039221523977892009-06-11T14:31:00.000-07:002009-06-11T14:34:40.448-07:00The Reason For EnglandI must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,And a grey mist on the sea's face, and a grey dawn breaking. I must down to the seas again, for the call of the running tideIs a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;And all I ask is a windy day Jasminehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07796562618432741288noreply@blogger.com0
