London First, March 2007

Today was glorious.

Being in this city alone with nothing but my thoughts to entertain me. I pitched coins into a beautiful guitarist's hat after I listened to his song for a while. Went on a walk that took me across two bridges and a couple of miles, and asked the cabbie to take me to his favorite place in London.

After walking some more around covent garden, ate a great meal and had an awesome conversation with some south African girls on holiday. I watched street performers of all types. And loved every second of it!

I waved goodbye to the bouncer at the bar that was too smoky for me to stay in. Totally bold for me in two ways- acknowledging attention given to me and not staying in a place that can damage my health or growth into who I really am.

My quiet mantra today: keep quietly in this moment. You are enough.

My heart space has opened up. I can sleep, and when I can't I breathe in and out: I am enough. Or try to do the occasional math problem in my head, that can put me right out.
