I have wanted to write for the last few days. But----there has been so much activity that by the time I return to my room I am too exhausted to write.

This trip is hard to describe. I have nothing in my data files (of my mind) to reference Iceland. From the simplest thing...being able to actually drink the water right from the tap in the sink. Amazing!! Turn on the water, place your glass under the faucet and fill your glass with the coldest most delicious water I have ever tasted. Then turn the handle to hot and the room fills with a sulfur smell, which is like rotten eggs, but I know how great my body feels when I am in a tub with this water. So I can drink delcious water and have a spa soak in my own room! It took me a day to feel comfortable drinking tap water. Then I felt so sad about that realization that this is not a part of my life. It brought me back to childhood and water and drinking tap water. Speaking of water---the picture with the two rocks (for lack of better term) jutting out of the Atlantic Ocean was so other worldly. Which is what I am mostly experiencing here in Iceland. It is otherworldly! The energy here is beyond anything that I have ever felt in other parts of the world. That was a lava beach with water that was so rough and wild that no one ever swims in it.

Peg and I were talking about the energy in Iceland and finally figured out that we really do feel Viking energy here. There is a strong masculine quality to the land and places that we have seen. The highland, where we were today...is also called the desert. When you look at the pictures you will not see anything resembling a desert. So it is an ice desert.

I stepped outside the truck today in the highland to experience a wind that literally blew me around. Our incredible guide, Einer, said, don't worry I will catch you. That is the only reason I left the car. And he did..literally catch me when I flew off my feet(only a few inches--but still ;-) and slammed into him as the wind blew me around. It was exhilarting. And all I could do was say...I want to do this again...and stood there with outstretched arms waiting for the next gust of wind to blow me around. Unbelieveable!!!

Yesterday we were on a Glacier. We started out in sunshine and cold weather. Going up the glacier the wind picked up and the snow started blowing and next thing we are in a white out. Another exhilarting experience.

I see that I haven't ever written about our Dancing parts of this trip. There is so much to share and it is so hard to put into words. I think it is because I am so immersed in this experience that to write about it feels as if it will take me outside of it. I am not ready yet to observe it from a distance. And that is what I feel I would have to do to express what this country is to me.

I have gone from deep crying after being blown around in the wind, to Peg and I laughing hysterically about how much we have seen and done in the last 4 days.

We have done morning meditations, Dancing to release and tonight an Emotional Release/Connection Group. And that is after we were in the highlands, on Glaciers, seen so many water falls Icelandic horses and I can't forget the Northern Lights twice.

So much more to come-----
