“She stands
amongst the trees bathed in moonlight.
Wild and Untamed she is lured between the realms of the ancient ones
past and the new souls whispering their message of wisdom to protect the
secrets of her heart”
Hitting the open unfamiliar road is an
incredibly free feeling. Starting
North yesterday, I ventured to Tutukaka.
This is a remote area on the East Coast of the Northland. What beauty did I find here with a
lighthouse reserve hike that can only be taken when the tides are low and water
like I’d never seen; turquoise in color, and stretching in and out of rocks,
caves, and crevices. When
the water hits the shore the white bubbles foam up around little pebbles and
shells that during high tide are submerged in water. Walking across this strip of sand and beach is neat, because
you can see what lives at the bottom of the Ocean without diving down. Poor Knights Island is located here and
is named one of Jaque Cousteau’s top 10 diving spots, it was unfortunately bad
weather, so this dive will have to wait ‘til summer.****Going Back****
Stayed the night in a house that was on a
remote piece of land and was completely self -sustaining. The original owner of the house studied
permaculture, which means they live off earth, wind, and sun energy. Located about 5k into the hills
there were cattle all around, no heat, no running water, and just enough
electricity to run a gas camper stove, and a couple lights.
Felt real spiritual here, played music on a
variety of instruments, scanned through some very interesting books, and became
one with the nature surrounding us. Unknown to me it was exactly what my mind needed. Taking a big breath of fresh air, I
watched the sunset across the blue and green waters from up top huge hills
surrounded by no one and everything that Earth has to offer. Book to read “Messy Thrilling Life”.
