The ability to experience awe in the abundance of stars in the night sky. The city blots out their brilliance. It's amazing to take a deep breath and marvel in the vastness.
Walking down a pitch black street with your only real concerns relating to hidden potholes or mud, instead of keeping your eyes, ears and intuition alert for shady characters and situations.
Sitting alone with a book, a light breeze, and the sounds of cicadas and birds in the trees. No TV, internet or traffic to drown it out.
Then I realized why these things were resonating with me so deeply. About six months ago, these were the only sensations I knew, deep in the soul of Costa Rica. Sometimes life sends you a reminder, now it's up to me to understand what action to take.
