In Varkala now. I did my 3rd polar bear plunge New Year's Day in the Arabian Sea in 75 degree water. I think it still counts. It' was New Year's Day, wasn't it?
It's so lovely here, just what my soul needed. I'm been blessed with yet another wonderful traveling companion. I'm so glad my path is not renunciation, I love this world! Being in the flow of Grace is quite awesome. Right now, I'm sitting at the top of a cliff over the sea. I can hear the waves. There are shops all along the top of the cliff with twinkly lights woven in the trees. There is music and bright, bold colours everywhere. It's pure heaven!
The weather is in the upper 90's and sunny every day. The sea is green and blue and the waves are perfect for body surfing. All Indian dress code restrictions are lifted and Western women here wear bikinis and shorts and camisole tops. I have sunburn on my shoulders and thighs!
There is a cliff-top strip of shopping and dining in thatched roofed restaurants. The fish is caught daily and laid out for diners to select from. The grilled marlin is exquisite! I've also had the best naan here I've ever eaten.
Yesterday, I ran into a woman and her friend that I originally met in Tiru, the one with the Seattle and poly community ties. I played frisbee and hung out on the beach today with a lesbian couple that recognized me from Amma's ashram. Both stopped by our table tonight at dinner to chat. It's amazing, I've been in town less than three days and have friends here.

This trip just keeps unfolding and evolving in such inspiring and enlightening and nourishing ways. I am so blessed to be able to experience it and also share it with people as I go.
