Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans

Achievements are so often meassured with professional classes, professional progress. Wishes and ambitions are so often translated into careers. But my father reminded me of this other path of life a human being is walking on: de loopbaan. Career in English, but for us it is something else, it is the path, the road we follow like a heavenly body has its orbit, it is the road we run. But however we plan or think about how we want our road to be, it will always be different. We made a sketch for Utopia I, or part one of our trip, we named some cities along our road to Japan. But what does it mean? When time boundaries fade away, when the world becomes your space and life is about being and moving what kind of plan do you need?

Utopia I (or the sketch) will bring us through Vilnius, Minsk, Kiev, Cherkasy, Kharkiv, Voronezh, Saratov, Samara, Ufa, Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Kemerovo, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, Ulan Ude, Ulan Bator, Beijing, Qingdao to a boat called Utopia II

This is the prognostication, and it looks like a beginning of a plan :)

In the meanwhile winter has surrounded me in Tallinn, the joy of snow pictures symplicity, awakens childlike amazement . It warms me.

A new thing

Honestly, this is a new beginning for me. After writing mostly on small pieces of ripped paper and in several "personal" note books I made a rather rational though intuitive choice for my future. I won't give up writing my ideas and words trying to reflect feelings in my rather illegible handwriting because I like it and because I will never be a daily visitor of the computer world.

But soon i will be on the road, a million of impressions and experiences of which I might like to try to share some in this way. Images and colours, faces and frozen moments ...I hope to store them here.

Provoke me through your comments, enlarge my world with your contributions and never stop being curious ...
