I am working with the National YMCA of Iceland. Doing stuff with Staff and Volunteers. And soon to be a week-end at, what they call, summer camp. They have had the most snow here than they have had this winter.So here I am with my snow experience - having a great time. Feeling ever such at home with a great community of beautiful humans.
It is so good, so far from home, to feel such acceptance and willingness by them to step outside their comfort zones where growth resides.
I am staying in a YMCA flat in the large building covered by snow. I still cannot get over the fact of them flashing around the snow covered roads - with their spiky tyres on of course.
I am being hosted and loved. Who could ask for more.
I give 100% which would give whether or not they warmed and welcomed me.
Just in from a dinner hosted by the Chairman and his wife. Most wondrous fresh fish and home made chocolate cake mmmmm.
I loved the conversations. Meeting new humans. Starting gently and ending with some passionate life changing exchanges.
I minded not - that a chunk of the time was a speech in Icelandic. I felt no ignorance or separation - just privilege to be a part on this special day.
A few picture here. More to come in the following days.
I have a weak internet connection in my flat. Hope I can connect with the www, meaning the beautifulYOU
you are beautiful
I wonder if you feel it right now.
Write how you feel right now.
Five words will do - or
go a bit deeper because::
"We become fully conscious
only of what we are able to express
to someone else.
We may already have
had a certain inner intuition about it,
but it must remain vague
so long as it is unformulated”
