Made it to the Tampa Bay Area!!! :)
Now in Dunedin, Florida, a charming town on the beach, with a bike trail that extends for miles.
After lots of riding, it feels great to arrive here. The people are fantastic, it's a more culturally liberal place than a lot of Florida to the north of here. There also seem to be a fair number of older residents, who come here for the sun and sea. Overall, a very peaceful and beautiful place.
Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
My friend Jamil just posted some thoughts on Rumi about physicality. For a different take, you can check out his new post here:
Rumi was a 13th century Persian scholar, mystic, jurist, and poet... I couldn’t even find this poem online, or in the pdf version, so it must be a rarer poem in this expanded edition of the book, and had to be transcribed from the book. I recommend ‘The Essential Rumi’ to any seeker or mystic on the path...
The Freedom of a Place...
If you put shoes that are too tight
and walk out across an empty plain
you will not feel the freedom of the place
unless you take off your shoes.
A new version of The Flying Burrito is now out, with a few corrections and improvements! :)
Continuing to ride along the Florida coast.
Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Now available in English:
The Flying Burrito
Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
After some cold and rain, finally it's nice and sunny again in the sunshine state! :)
Lots and lots of highway billboards, mostly advertising aggressive legal services...
Rock & Roll!!!!!!!! :)
Cuba in a Nutshell @ Culture Whiz:
Cuba is a country in the Caribbean, occupying its own large island, as well as smaller nearby islands. The country's position just off the coast of Florida and near neighboring Caribbean islands has produced a highly unique nation. In famous Havana or elsewhere around the island, strains of tropical music mix with Spanish colonial history, revolutionary politics, and a globally relevant culture.
After a bunch more riding, and a wet & scary thunderstorm this morning, now in Homosassa Springs, Florida! :) So far seems like a quiet place with really friendly folks. And lots of manatees live nearby. They even had a manatee festival in one of the towns! :)
Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Continuing to write and ride... Lots of places with beautiful place names and beautiful surroundings! :)
Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Beautiful friendly place even on a gray cloudy day. Continuing to ride towards Tampa. Last night went camping and right before I started setting up I came face to face with a wild boar! :)
Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!! :)
