Tired but full of vitality

The past few days we have been walking again. 

I am sitting at breakfast in 'Fat-Cat', holding a warm cup of coffee in my hands and feeling the tiredness in my bones. 

As if I had run one or two marathons. 

And that's probably what it looks like. 

Sweaty clothes, sticky skin, blisters on my feet, 

and my back 'cracking'

...Well, I was only in Pai for two months. 

A place where everything is so simple, somehow. Also a bit wild, 

rough, it seems to me.   With edges and corners and a touch of sensuality. 

A place with heart. 

In the autumn, last year, one morning I stood on the beach in Tel Aviv. The still cool sand under my feet, the roaring of the sea. 

The light of the morning sun reflected in the skyscrapers. 

My gaze over the wide sea. 

Then I was overcome by a feeling, full of lightness and joy. However 'imperfect' my situation may be, it is perfect for what lies ahead. 

...And that's how it feels today too. 

'When you travel far, far into the world. You learn, that you never

limited to your wildest dreams.'

Although I feel tired and notice that I am actually in a very exotic place here, with rain and heat,...oh yes, there is also a baby.

But filled with life force. 

I am overflowing with vitality. 

'I hear the raindrops falling on the leaves, still taste the coffee in my mouth, lean back and close my

eyes.' 

I am still savoring the last few days and as I know Pai,

it remains exciting until the end. 

..Ready to move on.
