Living in the flow

March 23, 2006 · Posted in Uncategorized

Germany - near Munich One of the things I love most about traveling and being at the whim of a project schedule is that it forces one to be “home”, “centered”, “at peace” with whatever is happening in one’s environment. The more the world around is fluctuating, moving, changing, the more one needs to focus internally in order to find stability. Having one’s sight set inward, sooner or later one encounters the observer behind the ego, that something that looks through one’s eyes, is behind all thought, and calmly observes all that is happening without attachment, desire, or any other false connection to the world around.
As the landscape changes and events and people come and go, it is helpful to focus on staying and living in the flow, appreciating all that is happening no matter if ego finds it pleasant or not, loving all who are around, the strangers on the street, the special ones one has to sometimes leave behind.

Rome - View from the Spanish Steps Here also some more pictures from my travels… After Brussels, a short stunt in Cologne (had some “Himmel and Aed” – lovely blood sausage with mashed potatoes – a local specialty), it was back to London (had some pig’s head, ear and cheek there, which was delicious), then on to Munich (where I had the Bavarian version of blood sausage, apples and potatoes as well as some delicious tounge – and a most magnificient restaurant experience with a Tarot card reader, a masseuse and a delightful show), and from there to Rome (some more tripe, pizza, of course, and some oxtail), and back to London (more pig’s head – couldn’t help myself, and more Japanese delights such as pickled octopus and grilled smelt).
This weekend, it will be on to Berlin, then Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Zurich before I finish my project here in London. Lots to look forward to
