Yes to all
what life brings.
I have thought about what to share of my journey. I can tell many nice things about people I have met or places I have been. I could tell about my calm relaxing time on a small hippie Island, out in the middle of the forest with and older man on a nuts farm, and which I were surprised to found out that it also were a marihuana farm. I could tell about the young man I got a ride with and who invited me to thanksgiving at his parents place, and how the father of the family and I had our interest in canoeing in common and how he took me canoeing for my first time on the ocean and learned me some things I did not learn through my studies. I could tell about this strong spiritual meeting with a woman I met on the ferry who invited me to come and stay with her and her partner in Seattle, how I met all the family and borrowed her brother’s house when they went away for a family weekend. It is impossible to describe all the experiences in details. What I want to share about it all is that I am very thankful for all the people I have met on my way, who has supported me, helped me, cared for me and given me lots of good experiences and memories.

To travel
fills me with many different aspect of life. Sometimes I feel lonely, longing,
frustrated and unbalanced, other times I feel high on life, felling filled with
love and trust. Today I had this overwhelming feeling of love inside of me,
which made me dance and laugh laud on my own. For a week ago I almost could not
get out of bed, with low energy and heavy thoughts. I welcome it all, knowing
that is all a part of life.
I feel I am learning every day, every day I am going a step deeper into myself. I feel guided and protected. I feel loved and supported.

This is from a book I
am reading right now. A poem which touched me..
Poem by
Oriah Mountain Dreamer
'The Invitation'
“It doesn’t
interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.
…
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with the wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.
…
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!”
…
It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments. “
