We spent the last 24 hrs in Buenos Aires having dinner with some friends at Bar Uriarte (Wednesday) and enjoying the warmest and the most beautiful winter day by strolling around the city (Thursday) in short sleeved shirts.
The month have come to an end and it's time to head back to what we call home. The experience has forever changed us, to the better I think. The luxury of having time to explore, reflect and think is priceless. Especially together.
The mission of life is to get to know and understand thyself with the result of personal insight and growth. But it's also to connect with your fellow neighbor. Traveling accelerates that process and forces you to process much more data, often very conflicting, at a higher speed.
Our stay in Buenos Aires, as well as our time off, has been a very healthy and productive mental katharsis. A lot of the negative byproducts from a life in the fast hi-tech lane (stress, urgency, competitive disease, machiavellian encounters, greed, fear...) are flushed out and left is a lot of positive energy.
I realize that everything that I have experienced over the past few years and especially over the past year was a must, a necessity to get me to where I'm today. It started out as a feeling, evolved into an intuitive thought and then into action.
Many a times I've doubted the decision as well as felt anxiety beyond my wildest dreams but realized that this experience is essential. A life withour context and purpose is a very poor life.
The positive energy, the great kharma, the ecstacy I'm feeling as I write this (partially derived from an excellent bottle of Bordeaux as well as jetlag) is few and far between and can only be described as the elixir of life.
We are back to our beloved San Francisco, writing this as we watch the sun set behind the Golden Gate Bridge. The palm trees are swaying outside our windows and the sky is filled with a warm haze. There is a sense of unity, of divine connection and of happiness that makes all the sacrifices completely and utterly worth it.
Our next phase in life is about to begin!
