A few days ago...

I was in a different world, Ubud-world, Bali-world, crowded streets, taxi drivers smiling, calling for your attention, "Taxi. Taxi." Scooter owners going, "Transport. Transport? Maybe tomorrow." Uneven narrow sidewalks with unexpected openings, strange doorways leading downward, a hindrance to windowless storefront shopping, or just to walking.

A few days ago, I was complaining about being stuck in a tourist hotbed. Then, having complained, and therefore having become more relaxed, a doorway opened. Suddenly, Ubud was wearing a different outfit, showing a completely unexpected face.

A few days ago, I was in a different world, when kind hearts led me out of superficiality to the outskirts of Ubud's main streets, to the crux of matters dear to my heart.

A few days ago, seeking, hopeful, I met friends I'd love to meet again...

Until then, I wish them the best of everything.

Until then, heart at home, love by my side, I'm readjusting to Madison's rhythm, allowing time to make room for me, whether in Wisconsin's capital, or elsewhere.

Until, I wish you beautiful experiences, and much more...

And don't hesitate to stay in touch.

Allowing -simply allowing

P.S: The mad teacher says, "Once we stop having expectations, once we stop having desires, once we stop pushing for what we think are the best results/outcomes, once we stop pretending to know, once we stop saying this is good, this is bad, once we become thankful for every breath, then magic happens, then results take shape, then gifts are bestowed, effortlessly, simply, as they should -Life is a river called Love, and we are tiny conscious droplets within it. Surely, when a droplet decides she can control the river problems will arise. Surely, when a droplet allows herself to enjoy the journey, she becomes the whole river, and becoming the river, she becomes whole, she becomes the journey. Get it?"
