Bali World Of Green

The days are flowing here and there is less “thinking” or planning necessary for an amazing experience to flow forth.  This morning, I was going to take my friend Lisa to see Eddy but she is suffering from Dengue and needed to head back to bed to rest.  My friend from Peru, Vanessa, was to head to Eddy’s with a driver early but since that never happened, she was leaving about the same time as I was so rode with me.

The motor bike opens a completely different world that the world of walking or of driving in a car.  Driving slowly, noticing shops, glass works, tables, furniture, statues, fabrics, textiles, rice fields, forest and such has made me feel a part of Bali rather than simply a visitor.

My session with Eddy was really great!  He told me last time that I was doing great but only needed a little balance.  Today, he provided that for me with his energy work.  For an hour or so after, I had that feeling of waking  in the morning, feeling really peaceful, not quite awake and not quite asleep.  Lovely!  And I learned from him how to maintain that myself in the future.

We went to the market in Sukawati but it was already closing.  Vanessa found two things she has really wanted to take home.

On the way back, we stumbled upon a small warung outside town that had been recommended.  I’ll post photo’s later.  It’s a self-serve place with prices posted.  You keep track of how much you get and then leave your money on the table.  Lunch cost 16,000 IDR or a little over $1.00.   We ate outside under a covering of passion fruit vines.

Last night, I was early to meet a friend for dinner so drove up the mountain to explore.  And suddenly, I was in the midst of old traditional rice fields.  Those are disappearing as I’ve heard the price of land in Bali has gone up 1,000% in the past five years.  Lots of resorts moving in seemingly everywhere.

So, after a quick cooling dip in the pool, I headed up the mountain again.  Earlier this time, with my big camera, I had the best time exploring and simply wandering about.  Ahhhhh!  How wonderful!  It was the third day with little or no rain.

Tomorrow morning, I plan to do the same to get some early photo’s of sunrise over the rice fields.  A lot of photo’s here  and I chose to share them to help warm the spirit of any friends suffering in a cold climate at the moment!

Enjoy!
