People who have Bipolar Disorder. When you lay in bed and are not able to sleep. Tired, but your mind cannot shut off. It is not rumination nor obsession. It is being awake and aware. The moment where your life lies in front of your eyes. The questions of most value. The thoughts that are quiet and take much time. Days working, entertaining and obsessing are gone. Only silence allows the small voice with big questions to talk. Galaxies that seem so far.

Sunday, November 22, 2009. I did not die or get lost on a mysterious island with polar bears and smoke monsters on my way back from Australia. I probably should have mentioned that earlier.

Thank you all for your years of support, curiosity, and comments! The status update on my travel book is still in progress, but almost finished! I hope to have it published by spring and available on my new website.

I was worried that I was somehow underdressed. What kind of place is this? Always ha.
