trip...
My husband had died leaving me to continue on with looking after one of our adult children who suffers from a chronic illness. I was apprehensive about how I would cope with all that on my own, and I hadn't travelled solo for over thirty years, so I went to Bali for "a bit of a rest" and to reassure myself that I WOULD cope and get on with my life. WHAT a surprise! Bali immediately and most unexpectedly enveloped me in a spirituality that was almost tangible. Not "religiosity" but a very strong feeling of life's force. After almost ten years that feeling is still with me and I can hardly wait for next week when my daughter and I are taking my not quite three year old grandson to meet my beautiful gentle adopted Balinese sons and their children and to experience what it is like to be awake while in the dream that is Bali.
