I do not travel or refer to my life as a journey of wanderlust because I am search of something. I am not necessarily on a path of self discovery, but more a path of exploration.
We are most certainly not lost creatures; and if we sit with ourselves for long enough we learn this. We learn everyday that it is simply honoring that which resonates with us personally above and beyond what others tell us. As long as we are respectful to those that surround us in our intimate community and across the world, and we are clear on our own perspective of right and wrong and why it is so, then we are acting in truth.
This truth may be manifested in a form of religion or a sort of spirituality or even books and conversation & if that is the case we act respectfully to everyone around us. Steering clear from informing others on how to think and act and rather supporting others from a simple place of love.
In my move to Thailand I have been actively working to not take too much of my American life with me across the world. I want submersion into a different country. In different cultures. My idea is that I operate out of non attachment and instead of acting like I know best, staying open to what's learned in experience.
I've heard much about Buddhism being a daily practice in Thailand, a religion that is all about acceptance of people right where they are rather than where we think they should be.
No one is right or wrong in this world. And we will never know best for anyone else. Truth may shine through best when we act our beliefs rather than spilling them carelessly over other people. As I recently read on a local churches sign.... Well done is better than well said.
We are found, always have been and always will be. In this space of being ground within ourselves we do not need to use the words to express ourselves, because our actions will be firm.
Not all who wander are lost and not all who claim to be found truly feel like they are. We go on day by day and we give everyone a chance to be who they are. And maybe peace is born.
