How our streets looked eighteen years ago when we moved into Alhaurín from the coast.. very very different way of life.. 

Working down on the coast gives me best of both worlds.. it's been nice to be reminded of that.. 

I wrote to a cousin recently... "We walk around in these bodies and never think what they need most of the time..."

We care about our clothes, our fragrances, we care about style of shoes and hair and nails..

But the foods or drinks we throw down our throats?? Out of desire to drink alcohol, or that sugar kick? Smoking tar down into our lungs or taking substances to give us a fleeting moment of high or excitement! 

We care about the fuel we put in our cars more... God forbid we put diesel in petrol engines or visa versa! 

Yet these bodies are all we have to wrap around our enduring souls... 

Our bodies to keep us active, to keep us working, walking, to sustain our beating hearts and lungs to feed us oxygen.

What the hell do we care about our bodies! And why have I never had this thought before

The past is a place of reference, not a place of residence.
