In the beginning of the trip to China


Here we are, preparing for the long (five weeks long) journey, looking at the big map and thinking what to do with all of these ideas.. There are just too many places what I would like to visit, many good-looking ideas what I would like to realize or put into creation. But after all there is something which is very important - this is to do one thing in one moment, otherwise it could be very hard or even impossible to consentrate and complete all our ideas. So we can see the whole plan and start with something little, something that we are able to do and most of all - we are able to enjoy. In potential it is possible to feel that we can enjoy every moment we have and everything we do, just we may forget this deep experience of happiness and think some things very hard, make them difficult to manage.
But all we can do is to make these things easy - because deep happiness is something which doesn`t need any conditions. It just comes, this is the way of life, not the aim or some principle we should follow. It is something totally outside of thoughts and matters.
When we wish to feel this easiness it could be enough to do one thing in one moment, that we don`t think continuously on every little thing we want to do. And after thinking about these ideas I just started from somewhere, but sometimes I may forget some essantial things..
Yesterday I forgot my bank card to the slot machine. Now I don`t have this card anymore and I also don`t have time to make new one - because I will leave tomorrow.. And after many years it happened just now :). But I was happy that before I just took out all the money for the trip. So it could be even good that I can`t spend more money that the one I took out from the machine. Everything has its good side and there is nothing that is just bad, there are always some reasons and different plans, different sides. That is the way I usually calm myself down :)
So now I will make some last things for the trip to China - but just one thing at one time. This week I already got my visa, it makes me very happy. Everything is actually going well. Even when there aren`t any concrete plans, something will come anyway.. Important is to have ideas and visions, but then let go all thoughts and start from this one thing. :)
