A better, more loving one. The folks who have popularized the notion of attracting what you want are right----if you move through life without judging, open to others and truly feel love for those you encounter you attract that back to you----people who love you without judging. <br /><br />My comment intended to point out that you travel in actual "love" mode naturallywhereas most of the rest of us are worried, focused on our own needs and therfore can only "fake love," hoping to not get hurt or disappointed, or, worse, get something back without much effort. You are an example of how to travel without judging, full of love, curiousity and a light heart. Matter of fact---an example of how to live life.ricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19888641.post-34938924022924569872010-08-27T18:22:54.639-10:002010-08-27T18:22:54.639-10:00hey there (Rick)- I am curious why you feel that I...hey there (Rick)- I am curious why you feel that I am living a "level of being beyond the day to day" from reading this entry about fear...is it because you know the way I like to travel , experience life in general or was it something you picked up from my comments here about fear and what might stop people from acting on their dreams? .just curious- and just trying to make the connection here... I often wonder what people may pick up from a just few words of writing- as I think that we, as readers often 1) "fill in the blanks" based on what they know about the person first-hand or 2) the writer writes well enough for the reader to really "get them" in a sense that they "know" them and can relate to them...I think this is sort of the same phenomenon that movie stars have- when they act "so well" in a role, we feel like we know them , whether or not it is authentic or not...thus brings me back to the mission of a writer- do you try to be as authentic as possible or do you try to cater to what you think the reader may want to hear and think ?-..thanks for taking the time to read and respond...nice recent entry with your blog as well...I remember when you first shared with me your story of meeting that nice Irish couple.-.you look so happy here !melinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355220806045550424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19888641.post-41578497162385095802010-08-27T15:22:32.564-10:002010-08-27T15:22:32.564-10:00For you I believe there is a level of being beyond...For you I believe there is a level of being beyond the day to day; that you see the people you meet on the road--kids, beggars, toothless locals as teachers, when the rest of us might just be wishing they'd get the hell out of the way because we need to see the sights. Love your insights...360guy.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19888641.post-1564364200835693122010-08-26T17:57:44.600-10:002010-08-26T17:57:44.600-10:00Thanks so much Garrett !
