"But what," badgers a relentless voice, "exactly are you doing out here? What are you accomplishing? What are you getting out of it? And what, oh especially what are you going to do with your life?"

The voice usually stops me. Knocks me down, kicks sand in my face. But this time, finally, I tell the voice to shut up. It's a stupid question, what are you going to do with your life. Setting out to do something with your life is like sitting down to eat a moose. Nobody ever did anything succussfully with their life. Instead they did something with their day. Each day.

Sunrise is birth. Sleep is death. Each day is your life.

Let the moose run. Eat some blueberries.

Quick update

Hi everybody,
I arrived to Dhaka, Bangladesh a few days ago. Things are more different in Bangladesh than I expected and I'm feeling a bit anti-social (my usually response to a new place) which doesn't mesh so well with the very curious and social Bangladeshi's. However, I'm getting used to it and have been well taken care of by the couchsurfer I'm staying with and all his friends.
I'll write more soon and I plan to head to Chittagong or Coxes Bazar in the next few days.
Peace and presence,
Kelly
