Justin and I scootied down to Auroville (worth a Googlie) today to celebrate my 34th birthday 🪩🎉🪩 and had lunch at . I was quickly called to introduced myself to Martyn, who was sitting by himself finishing up his lunch. We became fast friends sharing our stories and how we came to end up here. He is marvellously warm and theatrical, loves Cabaret and shines bright and wise; his partner of 24 years just recently past. I wish we could have met her. His honestly and humour and wisdom moved us both deeply.
This time last year, we were living in the 9th ward in New Orleans sorting out the puzzle of what would become these transformative world travels. We were held so close by friends and family till we were ready to push off…and push off we did!
“A ship in harbor is safe, but that's not what ships are built for” has echoed in my head while in this chapter. Today, on a birthday, the very alignment of how life has been arranged for us recently, introduced a new quote from our new friend Martyn, “Humans are a font of infinite possibilities.” This evening, I celebrate and cheers to this new script being written and all the uniqueness at play. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
