Karmic-Dragonfly

Sometimes I feel like this...constantly traveling, without roots...to live on only seeing...the absence of an end and the eagerness to get to the end...only having the dream of the passage...

These feelings are more related to my current cycle on earth...I sometimes feel there was something else I needed to accomplish.

Viajar! Perder países!
Ser outro constantemente,
Por a alma não ter raízes
De viver de ver somente!

Não pertencer nem a mim!
Ir em frente, ir a seguir
A ausência de ter um fim,
E a ânsia de o conseguir!

Viajar assim é viagem.
Mas faço-o sem ter de meu
Mais que o sonho da passagem.
O resto é só terra e céu.

On a more tangible note, I am excited about an upcoming international trip to Portugal!

This speaks to me. The parts of my life when I have been the happiest has been when I am on a Sabbatical, living my life in whatever way I want, being with "those I like."

I have perceiv’d that to be with those I like is enough,
To stop in company with the rest at evening is enough,
To be surrounded by beautiful, curious, breathing, laughing flesh is enough,
To pass among them, or touch any one, or rest my arm ever so lightly round his or her neck for a moment—what is this, then?
I do not ask any more delight—I swim in it, as in a sea.

I am getting ready to host another Couch Surfer...this time for a 3 week stay! It's a long time, considering how quickly fish and guests start to stink.

But it will be like having the roommate I never wanted, lol -- but it should be fun. Hopefully, lol!

He is a marathoner, so I imagine he'll be out running. And he's here to take that same certification class for teaching English as a Second Language that I took in 2014. It was 3 solid weekends plus homework, so I suspect he will be fairly busy. I was working at the time, so it was particularly tiring for me!
