Sleeper train to a small local town in the middle of nowhere.
Little Travel Tip: Best waffles, ice cream and cheapest supplies in this town.
Traveling by night is quite exhausting but also much more fun if you're not alone.
Besides, Floh traded an old book of mine against 'The Celestine Prophecy", by James Redfield in Le Village. It's an amazing book, it really got me now. Here are some quotes out of it:
"What are we looking for? ..
At first we aren't sure. ..
We are beginning to glimpse an alternative. .. but we don't know .. how to make it last.
We're all looking for more fulfillment in our lives, and we won't put up with anything that seems to bring us down.
[It seems to be a never ending] restless searching."
"..become conscious of the coincidences.."
"Was it crazy to depart with no preparation? Where would I go..? To whom would I talk?
..The confidence was fading into skepticism."
[I have experienced now though that Martin my ex-roommate was right, you will build a routine with the unknown and you'll be fine.]
"History is not just the evolution of technology; it is the evolution of thought."
"All the things you took for granted now need new definitions, especially the nature of God.."
"Working to establish a more comfortable style of survival has grown to feel complete in and of itself as a reason to live, and we've gradually, methodically, forgotten our original question . . . We've forgotten that we still don't know what we're surviving for."
"How many people do you know who are obsessed with their work, who ...have stress related diseases and who can't slow down?
They can't slow down because they use their routine to distract themselves, to reduce life to only its practical considerations. And they do this to avoid recalling how uncertain they are about why they live."
[So maybe this book will tell me eventually an answer to the question, "Why am I?"]
