Traveling is like flirting with life.
It's like saying, 'I would stay and love you,
but I have to go; this is my
station.'
-Lisa St. Aubind de Teran
I'm physically back in Kona but still seem to
saunter in and out of several time
zones. I never know when I'll have to
lay down and go to sleep, but do so willingly
because I know
that this will pass within a few days. As I
sift through the remains of the past
two weeks, this picture underscores the theme
of the entire trip. Every day brought us to a new
place,
every place brought new experiences and so we
never ran out of reasons to Cheer.
I'm happy to be home, yet find myself
clinging to that expectation of daily wonder
and adventure. Like rising after a deep and
complete Savasana,
I don't want the effects
to fade so I'm plotting to experience
the same, everyday, right where I live. Cheers!
