Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

During a camping trip in Joshua Tree desert with a group of my 7 closest friends, we got hit with a rain storm, and rather then running to our cars and loosing our group flow, we took shelter and slept in an old abandoned train boxcar, which was filled with bats! We were attempting a 3 day Ester fast with no food and no water and made it 2.5 days. I vividly remember the pain I felt having my first swig of water, which ran through my dried body like a rushing stream through i dried and tight river bed. Had to sit down in the fetal position and pray it out.

Don't think i'll do one of those fasts again anytime soon. Yet seeing that dessert neon painted sunrise and sun-sleep miles away from all non-natural lights has left that canvas tattooed in mind's eye, like it was this morning. Trips like that forge friendships into what feels like a childhood blood-brotherhood. Ok, i might do it again if I got the call with the same team, but I'd petition the incorporation of water, one-hundred.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

Case by case. I do love playing and teaming guitar and Uke, creative writing, provide a meal for a host, i've been getting into french press in the mornings, an ear to listen without projecting, holding space.
I'm also a frisbee fanatic and can help a beginner with a few fundamental throws to achieve frisbee flow.
