Preparing for a Life of Epic Adventure (Travel optional)

varanasi

Rooftop where I slept for two months in Varanasi, India - the world

I’m currently preparing for a major journey to Central America in late February where I plan to stay for about six months — the pieces are gradually coming together, but the thing itself scares me half to death.

I don’t think it’s necessary to travel outside of your town or country for a life of epic adventure, but it does require a certain amount of preparation, and a different way of looking at the world than usual. I honestly haven’t done enough of this kind of thing in my life recently, but when I have it’s been amazing to witness the serendipitous moments of synchronicity unfolding.

Lots of joy in those moments…

I plan to stay in budget hotels, cabanas and communities for longer periods of time, where I can connect reliably to the internet and also maintain a good quality of life. I will continue to share a good deal of my experience with you here.

Capturing the Extraordinary Sweetness of Existence (A 2-Minute Mini Practice)

“All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.”
~ Martin Buber

welcome bus
At the start of a long journey, going somewhere wonderful – India.

Every moment I’m awake and not savoring the sweetness of this existence is a wasted moment.

The challenge, of course, is that every moment cannot be sweet. Or so it seems. Innate to our existence, and all that comes with it, is a bittersweet sorrow of sorts….

Inevitably, life veers towards the bitter and unbearable more often than we may like. There’s something delicious to hold on to and savor, though, just beneath the surface experience of whatever’s going on. It’s the sweet tenderness at the heart of all that is — the warm and glowing essence of existence — and it’s undeniably radiant.

Sometimes I need a little kick to reset my perception to this sweetness beneath the surface.

Here’s a sweet 2-minute practice you can do right now, wherever you happen to be, to help reset your outlook. A journey inside:
