Let our actions be the guardians of our dreams

Time and space

In "The Universe in a Nutshell", Stephen Hawking explains the physics of the inexistence of time and space. In his example, if one twin person would stay on Earth and the other would travel in the universe in the speed of light, when they meet again, at some point in the future, they would have lived different amounts of time.

If I look back, I think I've lived a lot in these almost 14 months. I've worked with very competent people; spoken English all the time; taken part in various outdoors events; spent time in the city, in the desert, in the bush and under the water; eaten great Asian food and TimTams; made friends with people from all around the world; tested my physical limits; and explored my spirituality, all that in an extremely safe environment.

In such a fertile space, I guess I've learnt to appreciate simplicity, to be humble, to engage people without having any title, to understand the world a bit better and specially to be more serene in order to accept the present and make the best from it, without worrying too much - "no worries, mate!"

For all those reasons, it's hard not to have mixed feeling about going back. My intuition tells me I'm doing the right thing, though. So "it should be all right!"

Anyway, my relative time in this abstract Aussie land felt absolutely great! So thank you!
