oh yes - i feel that - often - the sense of our time here being sooo short - and there's so much to see and do! Although I'm not one - Catholics have a thing called the Sacrament of the Moment - the moment we live in now - is all we have. no yesterdays, or tomorrows, only now, and that alone is sacred... It helps me to slow down and bring the pulse back a bit! remembering that helps me to be 'ok' with the notion that i wont be able to conquer 'it' all in one lifetime!
Thankyou for your beautiful words - you have a way of putting into being - that which i often cant express...
A mystical timeless experience, cemented by wonderful like-minded funny travellers...we hit the jackpot on this trip. Fell in love with it all.
You my dear crack me up...still! Even when thinking of certain things I laugh out loud. Thank you for that you are such good company. I'll travel with you anytime.
I think I just fell in love with you. At least in love with your words here. I've never really looked at that sense of longing for more as the great blessing it is! How boring life would get if we could easily get enough! Thanks so much for sharing.
very well articulated. i look forward to more posts with pictures & testimony of your amazing adventure. next up should be uganda! :)
