These days I have returned from a miraculous trip
As some of you may know its been a while since Ive last travelled, as I have focused all my energy on making a new start for myself here in the south of France..
Ive been wanting so much to write about this trip but alas words fail me..as the experience or shall I say experiences were so rich and intense I really dont think I can fully describe at this time.
One thing I know for sure..I was on a mission..and the layers of meaning to this mission will continue to enfold with time, as I make the effort to ”land” back into my normal daily life..
Hardly anyone knew about this trip as I knew I would not be able to see all the people I so wish to see..and funny enough I did plan to document at least some important points and encounters, but I surprised even myself by wishing to flow with the experience to its fullest and not withdraw any tiny bit by taking out the camera etc..
So there it is ..all within..as it was supposed to be I guess..
This was a very personal trip
To four places in which I have left parts of me ..and which have left parts within me.
This was a special journey to close circles of past experiences..to seal, to heal and to allow new openings of growth.
I am deeply connected to these places and will forever be..Israel..Palestine..Cyprus and Turkey.
As I walked my personal pursuit of uncovering, discovering and recovering..I rediscovered parts of me which I have had to put aside along the way..all coming back together to fully form who I Truly AM.
Yes..I am ready to become who I truly Am.
I am excited, emotional and even still a bit disoriented as I fully blend and mend all my lost pieces..but I am truly Grateful.
And yet..this is not only a personal story..but through my own experiences , especially as I moved from one place to the other the following day, I have felt how close we are..and yet how far..
As I hugged a person in one place one day and had a warm conversation, the next day I was already the next place with such a similar experience..similar conversation..similar warmth..similar laughter and tears…how can we really think we are so different..?
While one day I was searching for gifts or tasting foods representing one culture, the next day I was in the ”other” place doing the same thing..feeling the same ..absorbing the same energy from the experience..
Many a times I had wished to zoom in and document all of it..to show ALL how we are the same..with our beautiful uniqueness..we are the same..the same worries..the same laughter..the same tears and the same joy..
As long as I exist
I will continue my mission
to strive to bring us ALL BACK TOGETHER = AAKHDA (“Together” in Ancient Arameic)
AMEN
Definitely to be continued..
Much LOVE
Mia
