The Journey is the Destination
​

Today I should have been back in Aitutaki

24/10/2021

 
Right about now (as i write this at 9:00am)
The gate of the plane would have closed, 
Every passenger would have been buckled up, 
the flight attendants would have finished preparing the cabin for take off

But here I am,
home...
typing on the laptop,
doing normal Sunday things,
eating normal at-home breakfast,
instead of fresh bananas off the trees, fresh papayas, fresh starfruit, 
in the Garden of Eden's tropical heat, 
facing a calm and gorgeous ocean,
sitting in bright sunlight, 
talking with locals on the island,
contributing to the festival preparation,
feeling alive and living a true life as it's intended for human beings.

I've been sighing all morning.
My chest has been feeling more and more depressed as I realised
that "Now I would have been checking in..."
"Now I would have been waiting in the Auckland International Airport lounge"...
"Now I would have been queueing to board the flight..."
I couldn't help but have feelings of sadness rising up in me,
before I knew it, tears are forming in my eyes.
I had to hold them back.
This is not a life-and-death problem,
even though this is a global problem.

The difficult thing for those of us who are victims of cancelled travel
due to government planning around COVID is
there is no one specific that we can blame it all on.
Is it the departing country's government?
Is it the arriving country's government?
Is it the airline?
Or is it the U.N., World Economic Forum, Klaus Schwab, or John Hopkins Uni?

All I know is,
this is the 3rd time I had to suffer for unintended cancellation.
This one completely outside of one's control, too.

Traveling is beyond important to me.
It means everything to me.
But it is not a kind of life-and-death or terminal illness or losing employment problem.
While every cancellation brings me significant distress and despair
no medication can help comfort the feeling of loss and sadness.
One just has to bear through it,
accept it, and move on with daily life.
I have to pretend that it's not a big deal.
When it very much IS
a VERY big deal to Me.

Whether you are for COVID-control or against COVID altogether,
The fact that Event 201 took place in Oct 2019 just before everything happened is fascinating in terms of timing...

If you want a brain tickle,
check out 
Agenda 21 - sustainabledevelopment.un.org/outcomedocuments/agenda21
And read Klaus Schwab's COVID-19: The Great Reset for further detailed information on all that had been planned out for the next 10+ years.
