well well!
laughter yoga quinta, has brought us many lessons.
about ourselves and people and child rearing.
learning how to say no is such a vital thing in this world.
also, meeting ourselves Where we Are At, in the moment, is very key to feeling Wholely, OK.
being direct with people in our connection, can provide for a healthy relationship,
starts with being clear on our intentions and then using our best way we know, to convey.
Balance is such a brilliant aspect of our time here on, Earth, It may just be the entire essence of our practice, however the leveling out of forces, will always be in Action.
The full moon is shining, her face through the sky tonight, and i give thanks for our time here.
Ana banana, gave us off tomorrow for our last day, how nice, so we can rest up before we travel on Friday, when we head to lomba do poisio, to stay with Clio and Adrien and some other Wwoofers to, clear their forest, and hopefuly learn lots!
We did some clearing here, today, i sawed down some invasive trees that were sucking the water from the Olive trees, and we have also gotten the watering of the garden every eve down to a science. We cleared out the junk-dome, and brought it to different garbage bins through the villages, we cleared a giant bramble pile and lined the property with it to make a fence, we even planted some baby tomato plants and cucumbers and celery and melon! (pardon the mispellings, this spell check is in português) We have gone to a river almost everyday and made probably about 30 salads total.
Oh how this place has been a triP!
It is realllllly wild to think that our next place will be our last stop in Portugal, before we trek back to lisbon, probably stay at a hostel and then, catch our flight back to Ireland on the 23rd. We will be taking a bus from Dublin airport to Galway, where our friend, Gwen will pick us up, and take us to her quinta, or may it be farm, Again.
Luckily on Friday we only have to get a short bus ride from Coimbra, to the village where Clio will pick us up.
A very special thing did happen today! We went to a small village called, Lousa, and there were these artisan shops. Three different rooms where people made their craft, including basket weaving, carpet making (fibers!) and Pottery!! Chelsey got to get her hands in clay and use a really wild looking wheel! This Português guy, who had been doing pottery for many years, was giving her a hand and showing her his way of doing it, while this other lovely man who was conversing about life and energy with me, translated. It was really mesmerizing watching the clay on the wheel and getting to watch chelsey´s elated face.
Really the icing on the cake to this time here, at Quinta do Sol.
peace to all of you
and though we may not be able to write much at the next farm, we will be sure to have a blast and learn a lot and share when we can!
love, all, ways!
