I have been staying with Poppy and Kevin at their house in California for one month and 4 days.
This is really not what we all had thought or planned. But we realized the opportunity of doing business together, then that is how things go right now.
I’m not going to lie… I do miss living in a van in nature a lot. I miss feeling connected to life and nature.
However, staying here, I experience different kind of things that I would not find living in my wild van life. I experience kindness, I experience different kind of adventures, I experience friendship, I experience how to trust in the other, I experience the different aspects of living life, and I have learned a lot from living with them.
Then I realize that this is just a different path in life… I’m still connected with life in a different way… different aspects in life… If life had only 1 aspect or only 1 way to feel connected to, how plain life could be. Moreover, I found that (most of the time) I can find a better version of myself after I have gone through some difficult times or challenges.
Living in a city, I found that it is a bit harder for me to stay rooted and grounded to self. There are a lot of mind things that will try to get me out of my root and get anxious, stressed, and being overwhelmed.
Getting out and see nature helps me. Seeing the sun and the moon hanging in the sky peacefully wherever they land (in the city, in the wilderness, or out of space) teaches me that no mater where we are in life, we also can have peace in us.
Staying rooted to self… take action and leave it…
This (that is all impermanent) too shall pass. Staying rooted on the unchangeable… the nothingness, I can be at peace doing whatever that this journey is taking me.
