Hey ya all....finally made it to Sacremento, California yesturday - I hd a 6 hour stop over in LA which saw me being keeped in customs for an hour coz I didn't have my brothas addy as he just moved house. Ended up giving a hotel address just so I could get through...was tired, hungry and just wanting to talk to fam but all good. USA is crazy, LA defiently didn't appeal to me - Sacremento is much more laid back. But beign with my bro is what counts, we ain't seen eachother for 12 years so it was a happy tears reunion.
Everything is so big here, food, cars....people hehehe. I saw a 4 wheel drive last night with 4 back wheels, was huge. Went to a liquor store last night ( to by a phone card hehe) and I totally expect a driveby to happen right there hehehe. So surreal, like a movie - I keep buzzing out at all the little things that we only see in movies, so stereotypical but as atourist you just can't help it. And ladies shopping is so good here.....it breaks my heart that I can't indulge, priorities hehe. A funny incident at the supermarket was a massive BBQ with demo steak HUGE steakand a young african american guy cooking, my bro was like looks good but if you had pork Id been keen. The guy was like "come back in a week bra, Ill get that pork for ya, wssup wassup" hehe I was thinking woohoo they really do speak like that hehehe I know its lame, but you would be ing the same here too hehe.
Anyway I going to SanFransico Tuesday and I promise I will have photos up soon from Tahiti and USA....in the meantime here is a poem I wrote on my last night in Tahiti...be my attitude and purpose of this experince that I gotta keep checkin myself on so as to stay courgeous
Some people
are choosen
and taken
from their familar
to places unfamilar
to tell of tales
of those they leave behind
what they leave behind
to share of their essence
grace others with their presence.
I am such a person
choosen
grown
flowen
I pray to my Lion
that only righteous seeds I maybe sowing.
My feet to take flight
on winds of positivity
gotta seize these opporunities
so missing my loved ones
is not in vain
gotta elevate in order to gain
to taste
see
and touch
the new sights that lay before me
to bring back to my beloved Aotearoa
and those that wait for me.
~Grace T E Taylor
