TRAVEL BLOG: PROLOGUE before i started my travels while i was still in my treehouse in hawaii i watched a film called "the way" with martin sheen and emilio estevez. the film itself was a bit slow - i actually will watch it again- but there was a scene that i really was touched by. the father is going on a trek to remember his son and where his son died. near the end of his journey he goes into a church . there he sees his boy smiling back. there is a part of me that sees my father while i am happiest and most accomplished in life. at times i can see him watching me and smiling as i am journeying through this maze of life and the mind. my dad used to always say the world is a classroom . I always thought it was a really cool phrase. After 3 months of traveling and half way across the world from home i see it as much more than that. every event we experience & every choice we make teaches us to better ourselves and learn where we want to be. when we listen to our heart we are learning from the world. in all our encounters and in whomever we meet we have the opportunity to become what we want to become. that confidence in what we want i see as a faith in the unknown power of our minds and trust in our potential. i am absorbing what i can on this world journey and feel that this writing is the seed of something greater than myself that i am meant to bring out. the longer i have traveled the more important it becomes to have a creation. To feel purpose. its my way of giving back from such a magnificent world and what i see. and quite honestly , it sounds melodramatic, but i cant sleep unless i do this.
