OOh, I can just feel myself on that bike. I would have done the same as you. Good choice and GREAT photos.

Thank you Marcia! Yes, your distinction of making obligations in the name of love is right on. I had not thought about the absence of fear but that is also a great point. In Bali it felt like they replaced fear with faith in their strong spiritual practices with out a feeling of imposing their beliefs on others, which allows them to be open and welcoming to all of their visitors.

I love this, especially the photos. I think when people “give up freedoms” in the name of love, it is different from obligation even though he used that word. They seem to honor humanity. This is different from people who come together in fear that breeds hating anyone who is different from them. I like the feel of what you experienced. It is an alternate reality for me too, but I sense something special in their connection.

Thanks Denise! I’m glad it has you thinking; it has had me thinking a lot since my approach is also very different. Over the past few years, I have seen a significant shift in my sense of well being through cultivating strong connections but feel I still have a long way to go. Paula

What a great post, Paula. The viewpoint that the taxi driver expressed is so different to my own approach. I’ll be thinking about that.

Thanks for sharing Josephine! I thought of you when I wrote this too, not an easy path but clearly the right one!

I can’t wait to hear about your trip! I hope it’s a fulfilling experience. With your help and guidance I have been pursuing my dream of going to medical school and practicing as a doctor. While this is definitely not the easiest path, you helped me see that it is my purposeful path. It is daunting to think of the 10-year flight (so to speak) that I will be on but I just try to take it one day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time keeping in mind my final destination
