What would my life be like
if i had settled down somewhere else years ago? Had i kept working in
Los Angeles or New York for example. Or if i had followed lovers
abroad and made a living in there.
In the everyday routine of
work-home-kids-pool-friends and family life there's hardly a second
to dwell on the would-be's of our track left behind - perhaps, who knows?! there might exist parallel worlds vibrating at different frequencies in
other dimensions in which we are actually living right now if we had taken other paths
drifting apart and merging together like the curly, twisted stems of
a magic bean- but just about to set off on a summer holiday journey
it's easy to wonder and indulge yourself on foggy shorelines and
beaches like the mists of Avalon.
Therefore,
as i was walking my dog across the nearby wheat fields, surrounding
woods and hills, i came to a stop and looked around; i said thank you
to the universe for being able to admire the peaks of Montserrat to
the West, shaped a couple of hundreds of millions of years back when
rolling stones, dragged along the stream of rivers, were glued together
by presure and the water level lowered
down. Similar complex geological processes formed the
Cave of Collbato under it, with Iberian
burials remains and an inner lake in which, according to records, a
Nazi delegation searched for the Holy Grail.
To the North, the Natural
Park of La Mola and Serra de l'Obac, with Monastir of Sant Llorenç
on top from the XI century.
I could also see the
outskirts of Terrassa and Sabadell to the South and further beyond,
Tibidabo and the
Communication Tower of Collserola, the Mediterranean Sea between the
hills on the East side of Barcelona and again the sea in the
background between Collserola and Garraf mountains
to the West of the city.
With this calm countryside
around me, it made sense to start our journey saying Thank You for
living my life here and now, for my health, job, family and friends.
This was the peace of mind and balance i needed to be prepared for
the tremendous amount of joy and beauty we were to feel along the
way, part of that joy was our return and the desire to visit the same
places once more.
