Border crossing

Grateful for:

  1. Being detained and put into isolation room on the border crossing. Nothing makes you THAT happy to be in US like a definite possibility of not making it in.
  2. Chatting to the bus driver about his bucket list and travels.
  3. Meditating on the 2 hour bus journey.
  4. Waiting for the train in a small country town in the middle of Montana. Surreal moments like this, totally unplanned and literally and physically “out there” leave me in awe at the magic of life.
  5. Getting on the train to experience the first ever long train journey outside of Russia.
  6. Camping under a tent of jackets in the train car while passing through Glacier National Park and looking out into the moon light wilderness.
  7. I can manage my own stress levels well by consciously focusing on the positive in the situation.
