Hi.

My name is Alenka. I am a native of Slovenia, living in Lake Tahoe California and La Ventana Bay in Mexico with one husband, four grown children, three growing grandchildren, and one magnificent golden retriever Monty.

I write here, there and everywhere in— between about anything that inspires me, makes me mad or sad or preferably, about what makes my heart sing with joy.

Belonging

 

I ran

Until I could run no more

Not knowing what I was running away from

Nor running toward.

 

Heart pounding at my chest

Giving and receiving

This heart came up beside me and said to me I was in pain

I listened.

I listened closely to this pounding heart

And I said: thank you for reminding me to look at my life,

For allowing me to feel this pain.

 

I returned home, but home was a strange and empty place.

I shut the door behind me,

and walked away.

 

I took the long and winding road,

It led me into the mountains.

I walked along the gurgling stream,

and waterfalls tumbling down the limestone walls

And I realized-

This is my home,

This is where I belong,

This is where my heart is free of pain.
