Three years in the past, I traveled to the South American continent for the primary time — visiting Buenos Aires, Argentina, Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay, and Bogota, Colombia all in the identical journey. It was a beautiful journey, and I had a implausible time assembly new individuals and exploring locations that I had solely seen in pictures.
As the worldwide pandemic has lowered the frequency of my journey, I’ve had extra time to replicate on the locations I’ve visited and the recollections I’ve collected. Lately, I shared a type of reflections on my Instagram profile, and I believe it’s value sharing with you right here.
The picture that I mirrored on was this one, taken from my lodge room my first night in Buenos Aires in February 2019.
Have you ever ever simply taken a second to see exterior the window in a giant metropolis? Every of these buildings, with their a whole lot of home windows, balconies and hearth escapes — is a spot that one other human being lives, works, eats, performs, laughs, cries…
As a frequent flyer, I typically comment on how air journey is a humbling expertise. At 30,000 toes, the world beneath is miniaturized — and I understand that, in just some quick hours, I shall be tiny once more too.
Searching any window can have that impact — we peer right into a world exterior that we largely don’t perceive, can’t management and barely take part in. It’s all actually lovely to me… the scale of our human household, the breadth of our variety. Look out the window and study to like what you see.
Though I typically discover myself trying by the identical window lately, there’s magnificence right here too. It’s a New 12 months and, like many others, I’ve dedicated to exhibiting a higher diploma of gratitude — thanksgiving for that which I’m absolutely blessed to have. My house, its home windows, and the life that exists each inside and outdoors its partitions… that’s the best present. A real miracle.
On this New 12 months, I want you all the most effective in well being and happiness, and I hope we’ll all have the chance to see by many new home windows quickly.
