Life is like a beautiful synchronized dance. A stream of seeming separate, random events that flow together as easy as water. However, it often takes a monumental amount of practice in mindfulness, to see that things are falling into place in perfect, divine order, even when it appears otherwise;).
This is my landlord's MOTHER. Whenever I see her, she is either intently preparing offerings, like the ones you see pictured, or SWEEPING. She loves to sweep in front of my apartment, if she sees that I have the CURTAINS OPEN. Like most grandmas she is NOSEY lol. Whenever she sees me, she smiles and just TALKS AND TALKS and asks me questions all in Bahasa Indonesia (the local language). I have no idea what she is saying, but judging by her intonation, I imagine that she's saying something GRANDMOTHERLY like "How you doin' today baby?". Her voice always sounds just as sweet and pleased as her endless smile. I like having her around. She makes this place feel like...
This post is dedicated to my SISTER, who doesn’t believe that there is a MALL here (there are several), or stores like H&M. She asked me if the mall had a roof, LMAO. And she said I only post about animal encounters and the beach (not true lol), so if there’s anything else you guys would like to SUGGEST that I post about, do share!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀But here I am, at the mall, holding an H&M bag. This is my favorite mall, because it’s right across the street from the beach. It’s covered (minus the very nice open-area area with a Koi fish pond, restaurants, etc.) and there is AC (my sister asked that too....smh) - NOT COOL, not cool lol. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
