Just a few months ago…REALLY??? I was out before sunrise in Bagan, on a rented e-bike, looking for spots to photograph temples.
Ziiiippppp forward!!! Now I am in Queretaro! Two months have flown by. I’m heading home in seven days. And have chosen experiences I want to savor with my time left!
Last week, I spent five days in the Sierra del Norte of Oaxaca. Cold, peaceful, mountainous, gorgeous and quiet! He cold was a moment to moment challenge. I changed rooms three times in one day, the final change in another village!
Early morning breakfast, waiting on side of the road for a ride. Suddenly on a direct shuttle bus to Oaxaca. Two days in a now familiar hostal and city! And then travel!
Woke Sunday morning to start travel at 5:00 am. Uber, bus, change buses in Puebla, another Uber. At 5:00 pm, back in Queretaro! Suddenly, I’m back in Jirafa Hostel in Queretaro in a peaceful and quiet village!
In hindsight, it is a bit of a blur!
Life lived or passed through!
Does time fly by or is it savored, moment by moment?! That’s what I’m wondering this morning as I sip a good coffee here in Apothecarvis cafe!
This trip is suddenly nearly over! While it feels like it went fast, I have so many genuine moments of connecting with others and unique experiences here.
The object is to maintain that awareness back in a very different culture back in the USA!
I don’t suppose any of you have moments where you suddenly feel like you have rushed through the past days or weeks or months, uncertain of where you were when they were happening?
Stay present, slow down and savor!
