Meeting the dawn with sculptures, moonset and meditation

Still on Waiheke with more magic to be had, I took a predawn hike with Theresa around the 2km coastal walk installed with 26 sculptures as a 3 week free exhibition www.sculptureonthegulf.co.nz/

Some of the pieces literally came out at us in the dark, until the light of dawn stopped us and drew us to sit quietly, reverently, inside a circular sculpture in meditation awe and inspiration at the magnificence of it all, watching the sunrise. As I had been awake an hour earlier than the alarm and ready for our walk at 4.30am I had already seen the most magnificent full moon setting.

I then had a very smooth ferry trip to Auckland, to airport, flight home and airport pickup by my wonderful man, who took me for lunch and quality catch up time. Funny thing, but from seeing horses race yesterday to getting to see jockeys up close today, I went, via a Yellow pages phone request, to work on 3 Wonderfully Wee Women jockeys. What a delight to see young women doing such an amazing thing...those horses are huge, but to also see them looking after themselves by investing in massage. Having it all is to work and play with equal intensity and inspiration, and after it all, to have one's wonderful partner cook a fabulous meal to put one's feet up too and enjoy.
