Im on a trip to visit my birth home and meet the tropics, I have travelled to the sacred hotspot of Ubud Bali. I am sitting in a french restaurant. There was a lovely family of 4 having dinner across from me and the building was a gently lit 2nd storey open air room with a warm inspiring atmosphere. I was doodling on my art pad and then it happened. I had a vision and heard the name inside my head, it flowed out onto the blank page and I knew it was special, I would honour it by taking a pilgrimage of my own creation, to utter the words atop a volcano at sunrise.
I went to a friends guest house and rested for a couple of hours before taking the night time journey on a moped 2 hours away. I had challenges to over come and a place to be ahead. I knew that I was on the right way. I was aided by some strangers to get petrol, catching a lift on the back of their bike before heading out on the small road with animals leaping across the head lamps lights. I arrived to a view ahead of a rising dark mountain with lots of little glowing things moving about in a line. I realised it was the volcano and they were people heading to the top! I asked, confirmed with a restaurant owner and yes Onwards.
I arrived not knowing the situation but knowing I was to head to the top, I was surrounded by a big group of men protecting the volcano's sacred and business interests. I eyed out a leader and said I'll only talk to him. We went to the managers office and after hearing my story he , who never goes up the volcano, let me pay what I had in my pocket and guided me. About a half way up he said, "Go on , You are stronger" So I did, I ventured onwards passing people as I climbed away from the main chain. I reached a fork, we all did, everyone going right, I chose left. After a while I realised there was a steep narrow climb, so I took off my shoes and crawled up. As I moved along the ridge, I saw the light rising on the horizon ahead, as the sun rose I spoke "Kabloom" onto winds into the valley. I was practicing an energy body movement and bringing it to life with this Epic experience. From that day forth Kabloom has been birthed into life.
