I departed from Miami on Monday 25th June, 6:50 am and I did sleep during all the flights and just wake up, close to our arrival to Mumbai. From the map showed in the Alitalia airplane’s TV it looks like we are in Indian Territory, near Udaipur (North-East). It has been a very long trip, 3 hour flight Caracas-Miami, 10 ½ hour Caracas-Milano, and 8 ½ Milano-Mumbai. Now I have a difference on time zone 9 ½ ahead on time from Miami and Caracas and when landing the day will be Tuesday June 26th, 2007, 11pm.
I think, this explanation is more for my own practical orientation purposes than for general information. My physical body is wondering where is the good food that she was receiving until few days ago, but in airplanes and airports its almost impossible to maintain a healthy diet if you don’t plan every detail in advance, at least I am not hungry and soon everything will change again.
Wondering on my last days, they were mixed with all kind of feelings, It seem that the effects of every decisions I made arrived on the present all at the same time; giving me clarity and *growndness I have not expected. (*deb's dictionary).
I am sure that to have the honor to learn from the Iyengars in Pune will be very good for me, for my physical, intellectual and spiritual body, for my solidity, my balance, focus and clarity. I decided to give all my focus and attention to the practice of being here, with mindfulness. I am sure that this will only help me to build my path for living my life with a bigger purpose and will be a marvelous experience that will affect my family, friends and my community.
Thanks to all of you for your blessings and your support, for trusting me, for your kind words and sweet blessings, they made me strong and help me to take those small steps that conform the new beggining of my journey.
I would love to add here the song of Enya, named Pilgrim. Does somebody knows how to do it? :)
Ahh, by the way! I finally get to Pune, I am staying with a wonderful family, but have my own bedroom with bathroom, western toilette :) hot water! The owner of the house is a painter, maybe he will teach me something, he is very talented and used to give art lessons, now he is older and doesn't teach anymore... Anyway, the house is a gallery, can you imagine? I feel so happy about that...
