3 months ago, my fortune cookie told me "You are heading for a land of sunshine and relaxation." I stuck the fortune in my journal and forgot about it. Then when I opened up my journal the first night in Puerto Iguazu, the pueblito half an hour from the widest waterfalls in the world, the fortune fell to my feat.Yes, I believe in the power of the fortune cookie, or more the power of chance; the power of happening to be in the exact right place at the exact right time; me ending up in Iguazu on one of the most beautiful days of the year looking at the most beautiful waterfalls in the world and finding the flow I had been searching for all those weeks in Buenos Aires.
In Buenos Aires, I was flowing against the city. I moving against myself, not allowing myself to flow or feel myself in the middle of the concrete jungle.
But in Iguazu, sitting in the quite leftovers of the day contemplating life, there I could feel the flow. There the beat of life slowed down, it quited down and i was able to find my own rhythm i had almost forgotten.
There the rhythm is steady and constant like the water crashing over the falls. The beat allows my brain to slow down, my heart to realize it is beating and my soul the time to shine in the sun. It is a beat i don't get lost in but a familiar beat, a beat i can remember myself in.
Remember who i am and what i want to do here.Damn, all i needed was a vacation!
