London -5am

I couldn't sleep and ended up in front of a monitor screen, checking and replying to emails received since my departure from Madison. London is vibrantly busy. It reminds me of New York and I have to admit that I always enjoyed visiting New York.

Would I want to live there? No. Nevertheless, born and raised in a large congested city, Casablanca, I cannot feel comfortable in the noisiest and most crowded of places, i.e. International Airports.

Yet, as I write this, I am ready to move, go, out of London and as far away from Europe as I can. I don't know why, i feel this way. Maybe, I've changed for the better, feel more at peace in peaceful places, in less toxic environments. Perhaps, I am more at home, no longer where the cosmopolitan life is festive and grandiose and superfluous...

I am home where my heart belongs. I am home where silence is pristine and natural. Like when I used to surf. Like when I used to be alone in the water, and no one else around to talk to, be distracted by, just the ocean and I.

India is coming and I know what it entails. But until then, we'll just have to keep on going one breath at a time. India is coming, and with her Home not too far behind. But that is then and this is now... So, I bid you goodbye and wish you well, from London, at 5:10am on September 30th, 2008.

Be well.
