Body And Soul

Anonymous

Today was a fantastic day.  I definitely felt rested, so that the long walk to the Acropolis of Rhodes was not as difficult.  I definitely was able to enjoy everything that we took part in on the Acropolis.  Being able to enjoy taking part in our lovely dramatic performances at the top of the Acropolis in the theatre.  This was definitely, I believe, a soulful expression of the way we spent our day.  Even as I giggled my way through a re adaptation of "Antigone" with Katie at my side as "supporting actress" I definitely felt this was an expression of the general silliness and shy-ness (not even a word, but whatever) that makes up who I am.  Though I may not have looked like I walked straight out of the opera as I did this (of course not),  but I definitely felt like the laughter and fun of it all made up for it.  It definitely felt like my soul needed the laughter after feeling so out of it yesterday.  It was just perfect to be able to express myself in such an open space against nothing but the sky and watch my classmates and even my professor do the same.  And now as I sit here talking with my best friend Melissa from back home over Facebook, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world being able to share this expansion of my soul with someone as dear to me as she is.  As Lena in "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" wrote in her final letter from Greece, "My heart is too full to write about this just now!"  And that is definitely the way I felt atop the Acropolis in Rhodes watching the sunset after laughing and enjoying the talents of my classmates and professor.  The sunset was also good for my soul, as they always are.  I definitely felt that after today, I will be leaving a piece of my heart in Greece as I watched the sun set over the sea.
