So, time for the last and final day of the second of four weekends of Supercoach Academy. A half day of class, with reflections, sharing an an exercise, and afterwards hugs and more hugs.

Went to Salisbury hotel afterwards and met up with Rachel. And man have we had a blast of a time, let me tell you! Amongst other things we went up to the Top of the rock, that is, the Rockefeller Center.

Behind me you can see the Empire State Building. Great view as you can see from this picture. From up there New York and Manhattan seem almost serene. Then I came down to street level, and the hustle and bustle of the city takes a firm grip of me again. It’s a weird feeling to be in such a vertical place as much of mid- and downtown of Manhattan is. I have been able to rest a bit from this vertical experience by going into Central Park. The nature, trees, green expanse and being able to look far ahead have been soothing.

What would happen to the residents here, if they didn’t have the ability to have some horizontal space such as Central Park provides?

SCA2014 Connection weekend, day three

Looking back at today I am very thankful that Silvio and I took a walk south in Central Park this morning, on the way to the venue. I miss nature, staying in the bustling city of New York, on Manhattan.

We walked past a sign stating this was The Swedish Cottage, but me and Silvio both agreed it looked more Austrian or something. But there was a sign stating it had been transported here from Sweden during the 1880s or something.

Coming close to the west border of the park, we could hear the thump thump of the city, almost like the heartbeat of it. I felt it was almost something I could touch. But I wasn’t ready to leave the expanse of nature and horizontal views just yet, so we walked a few more blocks inside the park instead, before finally venturing out into the land of tall buildings, plenty of people, the hustle and bustle of the city.

In the third day of Connection Weekend I got so much. Insights. And love. Tears. Big feelings. Hugs. Mara Gleason is really awesome, so if you have a chance to meet up with her, do, you won’t regret it!

After class I tagged along some friends of SCA, and have had an absolutely lovely evening! But am tired now, and ready to go to sleep, to rest up for the last half day of this second SCA2014-weekend.

And then the third leg of this journey begins. I am headed to a hotel, where I will also get a new room mate. My friend Rachel whom I’ve known for 20 years but have never met away from keyboard has come up from Alabama to meet up with me. Isn’t that amazing?
