THE TRIBE
Goodbye Aruba
As I sat under the moon for the last time in Aruba, I realized how much anguish and sorrow resided within me still. I'm grateful for the reflection which has come after the detox. My body's cleansed on the inside, and now my soul can begin to declutter. My hopes and desires had brought me here, yet the healing that my soul required was much more than I could fathom. I've always wanted to be free. Live without restraints, rules, and even consequences at times. I know that sounds ridiculous, but the world system can bog you down quite fiercely if you allow it or never gain control. In my letting go, I've learned to flow. As I sat, the ocean waves rushed toward me, washing away the residue of my sorrows. I embraced its essence and love. As my body shivered and my mind cleared, I realized what this trip was all about.
First I had to allow me to see me truly; in my own eyes and in the eyes of a man who had no ill intent for my being. Horus has shared his soul with me. His dreams, aspirations, and successes and failures. Not once had he ever judged me or downplayed my worth. He respected me and my journey while I've been within this space. A beautiful soul that I will never forget. He led me to wisdom and embraced me with love and tenderness. Although his days in Aruba are numbered, he doesn’t regret the path his life is taking. He'll be relocating to Brazil in a few months thanks to his new adventure as a crewman. I would've never pictured him as one who sailed the seas on a cruise ship, but what do I know? I'm happy for Horus and excited about our futures. We vowed to stay in touch for however long the universe allowed. I'm going to miss his wake up calls at my door every morning. His long enchanted hugs and his graceful smile and to think he never even kissed me. Sometimes the most intimate moments come in unique ways.
Life can show us some interesting things if only we pay attention and take advantage of the opportunities before us. Tonight I say goodbye to Aruba in preparation of Jamaica. I'm forever thankful for this experience, and I look forward to the next. As I walked back to my room, Horus approached me. "Miko, hey I'm glad I ran into you. I wanted to see you once more before you go."
He smiled genuinely, his grin like a chess cat from ear to ear.
"Hi, Horus. Aww, that's thoughtful." He handed me a rose as I walked closer to him. He grabbed my hand and began to speak. "I've never met a woman quite like you. You're beautiful, unique, bold, and a little too serious at times." We both laughed. "Anyways, I'm honored to have cross paths with you. I hope we will meet again someday as we've planned, but if not I want you to remember this moment." He looked deep into my eyes, laid my hand on his chest, and kissed me. Sparks began to fly. There are no words for this! I melted right away. Why must I go now? Our kiss lingered forever it seemed. Finally, we came up for air. Horus just smiled and spoke softly. "Come on, let me walk you to your room. I'll help you pack."
Well, of course, I would never tell Horus no. So, off to my room we go! The journey continues....
