What if you awoke one day with the remarkable chance
To drop what you’re doing, let it all go
Pack up just the important bits and
Kiss your loved ones (of course)
Promise to write (maybe)
Walk across the lands
Climb a golden hill
Until you found
Yourself
Here
Enmeshed
In the twistiness
Of winding streets
And white-washed buildings
Multi-colored flowers and people
Who welcome you with knowing smiles
Because they also woke up one random Sunday
And wondered if there was something more they could do
To finally stop dreaming and hoping and finally find their place in the sun
Greetings from Cómpeta, Spain. More to follow. Especially since I’m not planning on leaving. How I can work that out, I’m not sure, but right now that’s my story and I’m sticking to it…

Sorry, not enough green trees for me – I like hilly and green.
Happy you like it though.

I suppose it’s not quite as lush as some places, but you can’t always have everything… 😉

It took me a while to get the shape just right, but I enjoyed fiddling with the words until things were just so…

I was completely enraptured with Competa, and we are headed back there next June. I would love to hear any stories you might have to share, as I am seriously considering a permanent move…
