Here we go, another trip, another time in a bit of life’s luxury of enjoying the business class since the difference between the premium economy and business was just two hundred dollars, so considering my ensemble of suitcases 20 kg more is also nice addition. However the oversized bike case did not passed this time as I made mistake to say that it is stuffed by scuba gear doh cost me two hundred and thirty bucks yay but at least all is secured in hard shell suitcase. Next time I tell them it is bicycle. Anyhow after initial blood pressure raisin all coola boola as the flight is delayed and guess what even the second one is delayed and even more. Woo hoo business lounge with free food, here I come , shaking those tiny warm plates without side walls, so one cannot pile the food high but well another round, walking is good so keep walking to the food bar and back. Not really, one portion of salad and I’m good, sitting and observing the life passing by and the people around. Eating, drinking and having generally restful time before next flight. Sometimes delay is good, have time to eat, drink and stretch legs before sit down for another flight. Someone once said, that nothing is bad or good, it just is and only us, put the label on situations. Kind of like this delay, well people are unhappy that this happened but for me it is all good, have time to sit listen to music and type a bit. Yeah will arrive late to the destination but still better arrive well and healthy than never. I would not say no to the hotel on airline expense but not this time. This time is just hanging around the lounge and looking at the faces of people, sitting around. After the interesting conversation with Frank on the plane, who was sitting next to me I kind of watching people around and trying to guess what is their story. Frank story was interesting, Veteran of Vietnam war, where is was a diver to transition to industrial diving of cleaning boats and replacing propellers underwater to the motorcycle crash that as much it was bad, since he nearly lost his leg, scorched by exhaust to the bone, was good, since the settlement set him free financially. The avid diver who recertify as recreational diver and still going strong in his age of seventy five is truly inspiring. Obstacles in his life, never stopped him and the story line that weaved through of lives was the great people are around and helpful angels in real life. Yeah I’, so grateful for all those people I have met on this journey called life. Some stay with us for minute, some for day, some longer but the memories are forever and some we will never forget. Getting dark outside, lights started coming on illuminating the tarmac, planes parked on the gate and I just realized that I’m getting darker too so let turn on that internal light and smile to illuminate my hearth and soul for the next flight. Hmm thinking and the tape is running in loop controlled by Ego the bastard. Let light and love overcome the Ego.
