Day Sixteen: 22 January 2006

7.29
Bags packed, ready and waiting for the friend to pick me up. Still have a lot of luggage, but a little lighter. I guess I must still learn how to let go, how to drop things I do not need. And I don’t just mean clothes. Unsure what it is that is making my bags so bulky and heavy. Perhaps that’s how we go through life: carrying with us so much junk that are actually of no real benefit, but only help to slow us down and tire us on our journey.

Another step ahead, another country, another city. But wherever I may go and be, I (hopefully) take with me mindfulness,
and a peace of mind.
