In the state of Nirvana, Mexico

I was looking for a particular reference in my journal and came across this drawing that I did while sitting on the beach in Tulum, Mexico about six years ago.   Today, here it is raining and it's so cold that icicles are forming on the trees and bushes.  Here is an excerpt from the journal, dated Feb. 19, 2003:  "Let it be known to future generations that at this moment, I, Carolyn Rekerdres, am in a state of nirvana.  I am sitting on a beautiful white sand beach, the sun has just come up so it's not too hot.  My feet are in the sand..." 
 This drawing is of a curious tree trunk that looked like a woman with upraised arms.  It was right outside my little cabana room on the beach.

Lovely drawing -I wish I was on that beach right now and it is not even that cold here in San Diego - it is just such a great statement!
