Up at 4 am for my taxi. My driver was a lovely guy called Loveleen. He was right near the beginning of a twelve hour shift, he does that twice a week. I arrived at Sydney early, and checked into my hostel which turned out to be huge. Like Massive I never knew there were backpacking places that big. Anyhow I soon headed out the door to check out where the Convention Centre was where I'd be spending 12-14 hours of the next two days and ten hours of the day after. It was a short lovely walk, through a few streets thronged with Asian shops and Asian folk over a big bridge across the grass, under trees, past the fountains which Dolly and I thought looked great. REally Vibrant area. Once I was comfortable with the location Dolly and I checked out Darling Harbour, we considered heading to the Botanical Gardens which meant having to trek across the city...and it was HOT. Luckily we realised that a good beach was near by so we headed back to the Hostel.
At which point I remembered to book my Theta Healing Course which starts tomorrow. so having done that and feeling great about it, feeling that it was absolutely the right thing to be doing I headed for Cogee beach which the guy at the reception had reccommended. Yum yum it was lovely. I swum, did a load of handstands, some ginga on the beach swum more, ran up and down the beach, did more stretching, more handstand stuff...great..I feel great..."HEY DOLLy lets go for a walk" "Yeh Sam that sounds great let's head to BONDI beach" Wahoo so we set off on this delicious coastal path, reminded me of Cornwall which has a coastline to rival anywhere in the world.
Some lovely running man took a picture of Dolly and I as we were admiring one of the many wonderful beaches, smelling the sea air, soaking up the blue blue of the ocean. We carried on walking and ended up seeing so many runners that barefooted Sam just had to join in so we jogged the last couple of km's to Bondi. After a tad more stretching we headed towards the bus stops...wherever they might be..when we spotted a skate park and there we went to watch. There were loads of little dudes flying high high into the air, twisting and turning on their boards, sometimes landing sometimes crashing. They were going for it and having a blast, must have watched them for nearly an hour. soaking up their excitement the adrenalin as I casually used the rail in front of me as a stretch aid. We headed off as the sun was setting and found the bus stop, only I was so pumped I couldn't stand still, we climbed up a tree....still restless...did a few handstands, my arms were a bit sore from the training earlier and the swimming so I decided to practice my rolls, a few buses went passed as I leapt and dived into rolls. flying forward, arching and jumping back twisting into a roll at the last moment, throwing myself over to the side towards a cartwheel but tucking into a roll. It was awesome. Oh yeah and pretending to be shoved hard,,forwards, backwards any way losing my balance flinging myself somewhere and then ... whoosh.. transforming that movement into a roll. Loved it got on the bus knackered went back cooked dinner and had an awesome sleep.
The weekend turned out to be Gastronomical. This time I'll keep it to myself though I may be tempted to drop a few stories in from time to time. . .For those of you knew to my Log or haven't read enough to know what I'm talking about I attended a Seminar one month ago that had an incredible impact in shifting my perceptions, what's more it propelled me into taking action on many levels. In fact that's the most important aspect. It's the difference from dreaming and achieving.
"There is nothing that has to be done. There is always action that can be taken" that's not a quote from the seminar it's taken from a book my friend lent me. In fact I even rehashed it into my own words. Why did I write it. The first is to appease the hippies, those that believe nothing needs to be done because we have everything we need. the second is for those who like to have fun and do more than sit under a tree or in a room with their eyes shut. I love sitting under trees in states of bliss, I also love meditating with my eyes shut AND I LOVE ACTION.
Photo Album coming soon.
