Having no education can be an economic death sentence, but a unique talent grants you a global passport: free to know, go, and do. Talent makes capital dance. I sold my cleverness and bought bewilderment. Luck became more predictable when I took more chances. The road to excess led to the palace of wisdom, then to voluntary simplicity: getting rid of what did not serve me became a value-add. At sea, the always-on consumer culture disappeared.

Anytime IS Key West Time Procrastinate Now Key West (KW) Has A Crush On Me  Key West has an  idea on how to spend  time: Do nothing. This is the "personality"  and PACE of KW. Once you make the conscious choice to  tune into it, the ocean awaits---it's the space between things. Music is the space between the notes. What is the space between MY notes? My souls rhythm. It leaves room for surprise and anticipation. Being at sea for a few days, I went on a digital diet-no internet. Spaces were created by holding back information-It works. The Japanese concept of Ma,(negative space, pause, The Gap) is in full bloom.  Essentially, what is NOT going to happen today! Taking it easy, allowing things to happen rather than Being Busy. When I lived in Tokyo, nobody ever said no. One of the ways Nihon Jins said no, was the time they took between saying YES. That long pause is the space between things.

Nuh in local patois mean don't - so No Woman DON'T Cry...he assures me, Every thing's Gonna be alright, Yet if Vegas is where neon goes to die, then this is certainly the resting place of "Legend" and "One Love" Bob Marley Nostalgia. The music still stands the test of time, and Bob Marley is an American Idol, but the country needs an extreme makeover. 4 years ago, @The GR8 Barrier Reef

A Tropical Field Guide · Ports of Call · Coconut Years Around the World in 80 Coconuts Nicaragua. Dominica. Thailand. Barbados. Costa Rica. Madeira. Jamaica. Honduras. At every port, the ritual was the same: find a coconut, open it, drink slowly, and let the island explain itself. Coconut Quest Island Time Port Ritual Travel Archive Experience Over Claims See Full Image Show Story I called it the cure. The real medicine was movement. The coconut was never just a drink. It was a small ceremony performed at the edge of each new place. The old dispatches were enthusiastic—sometimes gloriously overenthusiastic—about coconut water.
