My adventure begins in only five days. Somehow I have been super organized in my preparations and I seem to be at a loss as to what else I have to do. I’m all packed, all my documents are in order and I’m just waiting to go and search for my personal treasure (“The Alchemist”). Here’s a part of the Tao Te Ching that describes how I’m feeling right now:
Best to be like water
Which benefits the ten thousand things
And does not contend.
It pools where humans disdain to dwell,
Close to the Tao.
Live in a good place.
Keep your mind deep.
Treat others well.
Stand by your word.
Keep good order.
Do the right thing.
Work when it’s time.
Only do not contend,
And you will not go wrong.
Essentially I am like water, I am ready for my adventure to take me where it leads and I have no fear but just subdued excitement as I wait for Tuesday.
I've included two of my own photographs that represent how I am feeling right now.

Good luck Sammy. We'll be thinking of you. Have a few pisco sours after getting settled in and relish your time there.
