Back in the US this AM after a nourishing and wildly rejuvenating series of leading edge teaching experiences in Edinburgh, Frankfurt, Norway, Faroe Islands, and Iceland.
Endless conversations with some of the wisest, kindest, and most authentically productive mammals I’ve ever had the privilege to call my tribe. New projects were fertilized and now will wait to germinate
One thing that stood out during the travel was how incredibly friendly everyone was.
From taxi drivers in Scotland to hotel managers In Reykjavik; chefs in Iceland
airline personnel, merchants, and fellow wanders
Each was so kind, cheerful, and enthusiastic.
Even the usual nemesis of travelers, the TSA/customs officers and other various foreign government employees, were respectful, inquisitive, outside of that one TSA agent in Chicago upon my return to the USA. She was my reminder why the centralization of the USA is deadly.
I believe that the world always reflects our energy back to us in one form or another, and one intention that I had this trip was to see the light in others.
Not every person was cheerful at first, but after a few minutes of receiving my ”light therapy”, every one got into my game like bugs to light… and the differences manifested. The trip began badly. United Airlines lost all my bags day one of the trip. It didn’t dim my flame.
As we age we become appreciative of the wonderful adventures we take on our revolutions around the sun as integrate our passions with our journeys.
Thank you to all the people I met & infected with decentralized wisdom. Thanks for your smiles and handshakes as I laid the lessons throughout this European ride. It might be the last high latitude trip I ever take.
I hope you enjoyed reading and watching the journey as much as I enjoyed sharing my light with those who asked for it.
