My plane should have left at 6.20 am and arrived at 8 am in Brussels, and at 9 am I should have been at work.....
But things didn't quite work out....my flight was cancelled, then I was transferred to Copenhagen, then the engine died on the way to the runway...too many problems on such a short timespan. I finally arrived at 1 pm in Brussels.
There are too many things still going through my mind, so many people to thank, so many impressions to classify and remember. Some of these memories will stay with me all my life, and I cannot thank all my Estonian friends or others I have met enough.
Instead of thanking them all personally (which I already did in Real Life when I left them), I want to finish with a poem that was sent to me by Regita from Lithuania. And in a sense it is about ending from the beginning, because my first ever travel log was about meeting Regita, and tonight, when I get back home after a long day's work...Regita will be waiting for me at home.
You see, every beginning as an end, but every end is the beginning of something new. Please follow me to a new adventure, next month when I am going to Saaremaa and Hiuumaa (two estonian islands) with my girlfriend Claudia. You can find it at the following address : www.travelpod.com/members/thorgal
and here it is, the poem that means so much to me and other travellers :
"...We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way,
begin no day where we have ended another day,
and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us.
Even while the earth sleeps we travel.
We are the seeds of the tenacious plant, and it is in our
ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to
the wind and are scattered."
Kahlil Gibran "The Prophet"
