Before I get philosophical, I will share my current adventures! I arrived in Tulum early one morning after a all nighter on a bus. I dropped my bags at the nearest hostel and caught a shuttle to the beach. Reconnecting with the Caribbean sea is an absolute treat. I floated, swam, twisted and embraced the white sand between my toes. Tulum beaches are miles long, brilliantly glowing white, smooth caribbean waters, and are lined with yoga studios, hotels, kite surfing, and restaurants. It is quite a happening place buzzing with bikes and travelers. Off the beach stands an amazing Mayan city. You can pay and walk on a tour through the ruins, or you can do a I did: swam there, walked through seas of tourists in a speedo, and then be escorted out by the lifeguard! Tons of fun playing in the ocean.
Tulum happens to be the home of many, many Cenotes (water caves). I was blessed to go diving through two of the cenotes: The Pit, and Dos Ojos. My private German guide, Lisa, and I began the day with a 8 meter or so jump off a cliff into the Pit. This massive hole is filled with fresh water and salt water below. We dove over 30 meters down, spiraling down the limestone walls. At this great depth, a cloud formed. We played in the cloud for a bit, shining our flashlights through the floating phenomenon. Looking up at the light was fascinating. The sun rays brilliantly sparkling as they made their way into the Pit. Dos Ojos was absolutely incredible. We never went deeper than 10 meters, but we traveled through long tunnels filled with sparkling stalagtites and stalagmites. After about 25 minutes through the cenotes, we surfaced in the Bat Cave. Under ground, with only a small hole where light entered, we floated. Wahe Guru, one of my favorite experiences in the water and the darkness!
Today I rented a motorbike and shredded the coast most of the day. I made it up to Akumal, where I jumped out, stretched on the beach and entered the sea grass filled sea. Within minutes I began spotting sea turtles effortlessly flying through the water. Bliss. A spotted eagle ray joined us in a feast of life and joy. A day of loving the ocean and all she provides for us.
Last night I met a man named Freedom. He is an experienced Rainbow-er. We talked about my experience and he helped me to remember the role of the ´Joker´or ´lucifer´ or ´vampires,´whatever you call them. Where they are chaos exists, and unity is disrupted. In order to have an experience that is pure and in truth, one must create the world around them. Rather than controlling situations with expectations, we let go and go with our hearts. When we submit to the one force in compassion and love, all good things find us. Our lives are fulfilled. Until then, the Joker has power over us. I truly believe that when we are all living our truth in Freedom, we will unite again as one.
