Destination Laos: Part 15

I like this picture. Very zen like, tranquil. A feeling of being at peace with the world, of flow and continuity. Never fails to make me think, this is what life is and could be if we so chose to believe and were not so deluded and determined by wealth and material pursuits. Me, a hot cup of tea, and bread with cheese and i feel so blessed. Blessed with each sunrise, each day that i have on this beautiful planet. Truly, its up to us to find the beauty in our surroundings, in life. For me, i like how simple life can be.

Like Kerouac's semiautobiographical self, Ray Smith in the Dharma Bums, meditating in the woods, experiencing the rush of truth, the "diamond cutter" of silence, his dreamless, undisturbed sleep in the arroyo in the New Mexican desert, one of my favourite paragraphs ever from Kerouac.

There is no title for this post - i cant think of one. Nothingness is as good a start as any. Perhaps as good an end as any.
