Different different but same

Things are different in Iceland.


Little things like the coffee maker in the house where I stay, the way the women are strong and look beautiful. And also bigger things, like the language, the way there comes hot steam out of the ground, and probably lot more that I haven't even seen!
Travelling makes me more aware, makes me look at things, makes me enjoy what I see what I observe. And at first sight, things can look different.

Staying with my friends Lee and Alda in Reykjavik, also makes me realise again that things are very much the same too. It was great yesterday to be eating a home cooked meal together on the kitchen table, to sit in the living room now, having our daily shot of coffee and internet, to be going to a yoga class in an hour and to see how all the 3 of us are waking up to go after our dreams. Lee is working on creating a circus community in Iceland; this never excisted before. Alda just gave up her teaching job so that she can develop her art and work on performing arts, and I.... am dropping the first seeds of AcroYoga in Reykjavik and travel on.


Iceland is beautiful and powerful, I really need to come back here.
