I
am in San Francisco for a meeting this week, so I spent the weekend
with nature, which was wonderful! Believe it or not, I still have many unprocessed
pictures from my Mongolia and Hawaii trips last year... I don't know
where time went and why I am so overwhelmingly busy all the time!!! I
hope some day I can just wander around doing nothing AND NOT feel
guilty
about it!
So,
I spent 2 days at the Point Reyes National Seashore this weekend. It
was just beautiful... Life was pretty rough out there.
Only 1 little deli in the whole area and there is no gas station around
unless you're willing to drive out 15+ miles. The deli is totally
outside of the national park, so if you go in, you better bring your own
supplies. As usual, I was there on the beach late yesterday and went
back to the beach before sunrise this morning. Again, it feels so pure
and original to be out
there with nothing but the ocean,
cliffs, birds
and cattle... You can breathe the freshness of everything and
smell the ocean and grass!!
On my flight to California yesterday, the lady sitting next to me was on her way to Hawaii. She was born and raised in IL, went to Urbana Champaign and got 2 degrees -- Music and Psychology. She spent 10+ years in Hawaii and raised 2 kids there. Tried to move back to IL last year, but she said her heart was telling her to go back to Hawaii. So, yesterday, she was flying back to Hawaii to check things out.
I LOVE those people's free spirits. I wish some day I could follow my heart. I wish some day I could just get up and start a whole new career -- doesn't have to be fancy or exotic, as long as it offers the opportunity for me to better experience life. I have always wanted to live in Alaska for 6 months to fully explore that amazing place, live in Hawaii for 6 months to get closer to the lava and volcanoes and the ocean, move to Iceland for 1 year to explore Northern Europe, especially Iceland and Norway... I hope to do all this when I am still young and energetic.
Yeah, when can I set my heart free? When can I completely simplify my life to a point where I could just get up and leave and go anywhere and everywhere as I wish? Yeah, when?
Life has it's limitations, but manage and minimize them when possible.
