Well America, thanks for keepin it real. It figures that the night before I embark on this spiritual quest of self discovery as a wandering mystic, I would have dreams involving all those I have ever loved, from old friends to new. Less than four hours until I board a plane to Munich, Germany. I feel surprisingly calm, using a passive approach to avoid any feelings of anxiousness. I have said goodbye to family and friends, including my best friend Sean Merillat a few hours ago as he boarded a flight back to the cold and snowy Mitten. From this point on, all travel plans are out of my control, but still sending positive vibes out to the universe that we stay safe, happy and healthy, despite the extreme heat and sleep deprivation we may endure. And now, I wait... Currently people watching as I wait for Janessa to arrive at LAX.. I watch in wonder as people come from all over the world. Curiosity strikes... Where are they going? Where are they coming from and what brings them to this international hub in southern California? I feel completely on my own at this moment but perfectly comfortable with that fact. Probably one of the first times in 23 years I can say that I am okay with this loneliness... Although I sit in anticipation for the moment, I am on no ones agenda, no one to keep track of, no where to be. Just myself and this body I inhabit. Inhaling, exhaling, inhaling, exhaling. Concentrating fully on the breathe that fills my lungs. For those that want to keep in contact, please download calling/texting apps, one called Viber and one called whatsapp. I will be able to use these to update you once in awhile. Also, email/Facebook me your mailing address for handwritten letters. No guarantees for this blog or texting, as I don't know what my internet accessibility will be. Anyway, I am so grateful for this opportunity and for all those opening their hearts and homes to me the next three months. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers for safe travels as I will do the same for you.
See you in three months. Keep Michigan beautiful for me. Love you all so much!
