why

why not...

...i could leave this post with those 6 letters and move on to describe in detail the few scraps of clothing etc that will acompany me on this trip...however this is the one question that has been asked most of me and the one question that i have not been able to answer.

...i don't know.

...i'm not sure why...my imagination is such that i can easily tell you a dozen stories about the why of this journey...things like when will i have an opportunity to take off for this long...or better do it b4 i have kids and a wife and a job and responsibilities...all a bunch of crap if you ask me...the truth is that none of those stories are remotely true...my life will never...and those that know me know that i rarely use words like never in my life these days...however the reasons above will never be in my reallity again...i have a family...i will travel with my family...get the idea...

...all i know that this is my path and it's perfect timing...i am going to see the beauty of the world through fresh free eyes...free of judgements...free from ego...i am going to spend a beautiful time with my nephew in some of the most remote areas of the world...i plan to do the same with my niece although she doesn't know it yet.

...i have been thinking if this journey is the beginning or the end of a chapter...i suppose it will be both as life seems to be an endless journey of love...i do believe and thank myself with all my love for giving myself this journey...life is so perfect and lately my life has played out like a 85 piece orchestra...everything in perfect harmony...

...and so this thursday a new chapter begins and an old chapter concludes...i suspect that everyday this will be the case.

...please let me know what you think and add comments...my hope is to find internet cafes where i can post everyfew days.

peace
