Independence

This morning I left the villa early with the idea of having a good massage at a spot I know on the way to the airport.  I hadn't counted on the place not being open till 11am .... with my flight at 12:30 I couldn't wait there and I was left with time to spare.

As I was waiting on the busy road for a taxi to stop, I had a time of mindfulness ..... I was calm and comfortable in myself while standing in plain view of all the busy passing traffic.  Even only 10 years ago, I could not have done that ..... I would not have been able to tolerate the idea that I was so open and visible.
