The Beginning & The End
I sit 18 hours from my flight down through Aruba and into Bogota. I arrive the even of Sept. 2 and have made no additional travel plans and aim only at the 1st of October when my rental agreement starts for a 3 story loft apartmentnt in Buenos Aires. How I will cross the 4 countries that separate me from my destination (and how I will spend the 30 days doing it) is still a mystery. I think sometimes in life you just have to jump - when you start to feel like you're looking so far into the future that you can't even see where you're standing, and you start to plan your life out to such detail that you've lost sight of who you are, when you're so affraid of death and loss and the unexpected that it's not even clear what you value in life - that's the time to let go, accept that control is an illusion, and let life take you. Because of everything there is to fear in this world, the most frightening is going through life not living.
