Even knowing you had to have made it back in order to be recording it, I was still getting very nervous for you as the sun was setting ... More importantly, while you were in that state of grace at the oasis, your mind went to a persistent ideal: "the idea of a year cooking, eating, writing and surfing in Hawaii". It's often in these moments our drives and desires and possibilities are clearest. And recharging, being contemplative, refreshed, open to possibility is such a productive point from which to plan the next intensive world-changing chapter. This by way of affirmation of 'time-outs', which really are the most connected 'time in' in many cases. Kindest, Pip So, Pablo, a very compelling tale of survival!
