I’m intimidated. I’m confused. I’m elated. It’s 8:34 p.m., and I’m tightly curled in my hideously florescent, but pleasantly comfy, seat on Thailand’s “VIP” overnight bus to Mukdahan. I look out my window to watch thousands of Thai bodies making their way through the masses. They swerve to avoid passing monks, sprint to catch departing vehicles, and walk as though the hundreds of buses, yelling men, and flashing signs are a simple routine. If Adrienne weren’t here to guide my overweight backpack, and me, I don’t think I would have left the taxi.
My first adventure to Bangkok’s busy bus station is a noteworthy event in my world. But to the sea of those surrounding me, tonight is just another long trip home. It’s funny how life becomes familiar, and things once so exotic and exciting become mundane and habitual. I can’t help but think life’s excitements are more important than we make them out to be. In our work, in our relationships, in our spirituality – it’s almost too easy to let things go and lose interest in what was once a beautiful mystery or passionate interest. Maybe it’s more effort, but finding an alternative angle to life’s ordinaries seems like a feat worth undertaking.
Eat, sleep, sleep, toss, turn, sleep, eat, sleep, sleep
Now 6:27 a.m., we’re arriving at Mukdahan’s bus station. It’s small and empty – Quite a difference from the nonstop noise and movement of Bangkok. Oh Bangkok, Bangkok, the city I call home. Hello rice fields, buffalo, and bamboo huts.
I’m disheveled, I’m perplexed, I’m elated…
