Reflection or introspection is the self-observation and reporting of conscious inner thoughts, desires and sensations.
When our group traveled half way around the world, we had no idea that we would be changed forever. We never knew that the power of the visual we were going to experience would touch us and impact our souls.
To travel anywhere is a gift. To travel with friends is reward. To travel, experience, contribute to others well-being and even change people can only be explained as a beautiful moment in one’s personal growth.
As many say, ‘we must look where we have come to know where we are going’ - rings true. Don’t be in too much of a hurry to miss all those moments and be sure to take the time to get back to that place.
Maybe it’s a place where you have the feeling that you crave – peace or your definition of z.e.n. – whatever your picture of that is, hold on to it – don’t lose your dinosaur and be sure you are getting your piece…
Asia is a wonderful place – the sights, the smells, the feeling, the history, the culture...the whole package is just there, waiting to be opened by you - along with so many other places – Asia holds many treasures…
We were there just over one month ago and of course the group has been talking about a reunion ever since we got back. With busy schedules and our western ways in the way, it took a bit of effort, but the stage was set – we all could make it except for one (who is still in Mexico)
The night began with drinks at our meeting place (thanks Kim!) we were then instantly transported back to Cambodia via traditional appetizers followed by what seemed to be an endless flow of authentically prepared mains with visually stunning presentations and aromatically dazzling experiences…
Now the wine was amazing too, but what stuck with me was the way the smell just lifted us back instantly to that place. We spent the night laughing from retold stories and awing at over 1000 carefully chosen photographs. Wow – what a night…
Thanks to everyone who contributed and made that event so special.
Another observation was how magical it was to be transported back to a place or moment in time when a certain feeling was so strong. No matter what it was, it was right back there staring at you.
Whether you can remember off the top of your head right now or not – get into your hard drive – cue up some photos or hit random on a playlist – give your soul a little jumpstart and get back to that place which may have given you some inspiration…get ready, this may be a nice little nudge to get you back on track or refocused on your task at hand.
Regardless – thank those who have been there for you and be sure to schedule an adventure within the next month – you’ll thank yourself!
