Day 1 - PDX Airport 9:30 am

Entry 1 - The raindrops slip out of sight at the fruition of their harmonious and purposeful dance. Gravity prevails. They are reminders of perfection in objects lacking consciousness, often forgotten. They begin as one, moisture from above, allow the elements to guide each drop individually, separating, combining, speeding, slowing, all in perfect harmony and end as they began, a powerful force when out of balance. It is creativity unthinkable to the thinking but simultaneously simple and obvious. Beauty...

Entry 2 - In recent weeks deja vu and synchronous happenings have outnumbered the random. It has not been ominous as previously thought but rather a gift, building anticipation and awe in my disenchanted soul. TODAY brings renewal. This day, week, event, opportunity was meant to happen. It was not my time and effort, mind nor worry. I did not arrive here on my own, it has been destined (including the desire and work I put in to get here). The turbine engine of an oversized aluminum bird sends heat, fuel to misplace the falling rain in a trail longer than itself. The raindrops on the three bay windows provide a distracting and entertaining foreground. Their dance is exquisite. I met a nice couple from Denver whose nephew is terminally ill. I heard less the words of his mouth than what his eyes said: bad news. They do not seem to know peace. Security took less than three minutes. Plenty of time to explore this gigantic building, watching planes and people. I am fully present. I am completely happy. Everyone I have seen or spoken to or stood next to has smiled, joked, laughed and so have I. No 17 hour Denver airport wait as previously thought... No forgotten items or setbacks. A clear mind, a healthy body. No concerns of next week or even this week, no worry. Countenance is nice, quiet, observant, happy without conditions. The universe is my shepherd and my caretaker. I reside in the kingdom albeit not the center. I am not complete but I am willing and ready. I am meant to be here. I am meant to climb frozen waterfalls (of all things). It is me. Everything is falling into place in every moment. I am so thankful...moment by moment.
