It Begins . . .

May 15, 2009

In Transit . . .

And so my next new journey has begun. It doesn't feel like it now - on my 22nd hour of travel with virtually no sleep for over 38 hours, my body aching, my eyes burning, feeling vexed, no . .. too tired for that, feeling dully apathetic and lethargically disappointed that I forgot Serene's advice to pick up sleeping pills - nope, it doesn't feel like it now, but it has begun. There's no turning back and that knowledge starts to bring the slight tingle I know will overcome me: the curve a smile dances toward my lips, flirting to break through the tiredness that at the moment is all encompassing.

I have no idea what challenges, what excitement, what newness, what wonder these next weeks will bring and yet . . . oh and yet! Haha, I think my biggest dream of the moment is to have a life changing moment with an elephant and to connect with at least one person I feel, after a short time, as if I've known my whole life.

- some quotes I found on the journey - "If being crazy means living life as if it matters than I don't care if we're completely insane." - Revolutionary Road

"It takes backbone to live the life you want." - RR

"Everyone knows the truth no matter howlong they've lived without it . . . no one forgets the truth. They just get better at lying." - RR
