Your body is a temple

holy ground

sacred to the touch

Chocolate

What’s your favorite candy?

It’s hard to think of chocolate when I’m detoxing. Melts in your mouth, smooth and lingers on the tongue. In Ghana I ate the cacao from the tree.

Boat from Crete to Santorini

The boat from Crete to Santorini made almost everybody sick, except for an old man, book in hand, who read the whole way. The three young men behind me had smoked their pot and were calm as calm could be out on the sea. A youth soccer team at first enjoyed the ride then moaned in agony. It became a mass hysteria of barfing and prayers that we make it to the end.
