Which place on my travels I liked the most?

This is a very special place. Actually not that special, but somehow it became special since we visit it so rarely. To make myself clear- Yes, each of us has been to that place before. Some of us just a moment ago, others can barely remember it; a still photograph fading in the museum of past.

Considering that this place I talk about is all there is and ever will be, it is somewhat amusing that we escape it with such a blind and stubborn determination, and sadly so, quite effectively. 

Being somewhere else than at The only place worth being at turned into something so omnipresent that it beats the ass of all other made up covers of our real nature, even the heavy weight champs such as  religion, self-pity or desire for fame, power and money. 

Yet, the place I am talking about is not just The only worthwhile place to be at, it is also breathtakingly beautiful. It contains all the colors, shapes, sounds and smells, constantly changing in a blink of an eye like a diamond cut to million faces which came alive with ray of light. It encompasses all the emotions and feelings you can imagine and even those you can’t.

You can find this place anywhere. At the top of Mt.Everest and in the dirtiest ditches of Jakarta suburbs. In the song of pristine Amazonian jungle and in the noise of LAX airport. Anywhere. But you can only find it in one specific moment.

One very magic and ordinary moment in which death and birth hold hands.

It takes lot of efforts, practice and unlearning to stay in that place for some time, and much more to live there, but this ever changing place is all you will ever have, from your first to last breath, so it is worth the sweat, believe me. All else is just an illusion, all else is madness.

This place is here and now. HERE and NOW. Nowhere else.
