There and Back

I'm on my journey to enlightenment, but enlightenment through traveling, meeting different people, hearing different stories and gathering wisdom from all over the world. Some two years ago I was hitchhiking here in the country I live called Macedonia, after I nearly froze from the cold March breeze, in my luck a car stopped and picked me up. Inside there were these two guys, one from Netherlands other from Macedonia, they were going in some village to look for a place to live and be at peace. After some time talking I decided that I want to join them in the village. I stayed there for a week with them and was one of the greatest experiences in my life, other that I learned a lot about the way of cooking in that region and the way of playing music on old instruments, (although Macedonia is small, there is big and colorful tradition) the main thing I learned was how to live. Life is a journey it's like a motorway, if we drive fast we'll go further but we'll experience very little of what we passed and there's a big chance of making mistake and destroy the car we're in, if we drive slowly slowly, we can experience life as it really is and actually go further the we would ever imagine. If we would just stop for a moment and see what we're doing with our lives, we'll see so much more then we see by rushing through it.
