Athens and Andi

Alright, here we go! I am officially in Athens!!! 40 hours, 2 epic plane rides, 10 hours in Amsterdam, one good nights sleep and here we are! The city is amazing and the people are epic! We have made friends at every turn, Im sure it helps that we are two ladies who look a bit lost at every turn. Everyone has been more than helpful! Vaios, a beautiful man from Athens, helped us find our bus, talked to the driver, made sure he stopped at our hotel, offered to walk us to the door and has invited us to dinner tomorrow night. I feel that we are off to a pretty amazing start!
I have been reading Carl Jung's, "Memories, Dreams, Reflections" today. In the first few pages he speaks of his memories of travel and the people he has met along the way, "...all memory of outer events has faded, and perhaps these 'outer' experiences were never so very essential anyhow, or were so only in that they coincided with phases of my inner development." He speaks of the parts of memories that stay with us, the feelings, the senses, the meaning behind the faces we see, the energies and interconnectedness we see from inside. I feel that these faces and places will fade in my mind but the feeling I have now will be a part of my inner being, growing and changing for all time. Being a part of this culture, this city, this moment is all the proof I need to know that the collective unconsciousness, is and always has been, a part of my inner world. An inner world that reflects and projects the same story all of us follow, the one myth that we all know, each our own, yet so individual that sometimes we forget that it is the one truth in this life, the string that connects us all, the story of me, the story of you; It is OUR myth, together and alone, one and many, each linked in this translucent web we all hang in. My myth is yours to read, but also yours to create, follow and live.
