Dear Friends, I was traveling, and there was no much time to write, but a lot of time to think. Travelling is not only about discovering new places, but also about discovering oneself. Recent 4 days for me were about reflection on resentments and blame in my life. I have much less of it than a couple of years ago, but still, it is present.
