In a week my body will be back in Parkland but part of me will always be here in Greece. I'm not sure what to call that part. Perhaps a piece of my soul will detach itself and cling to the ruins stubbornly. And, like a Horocrux, if anything bad ever happens to Greece I will feel a great pain in my heart never be the same.
At the same time I feel as though when I come home something in me will be different. I won't be exactly the same person that left. Physically and mentally I've accommodated to life here (if you didn't get that from my past entries!) I've invested myself into this trip and this experience. If my soul had a taste to it, it would now have slight tzatziki flavor to it. I've definitely eaten enough souvlaki to warrant it!
Today in class we discussed reason versus emotion in terms of mind, body, and soul. I haven't stopped myself from experienced the pleasures of Greece but I have my reasons! I'm here and I don't know when I'll ever come back. I do not regret any decision I've made here because reason has not stopped me. My mind is enlightened, my body is dancing, and my soul is inspired. I came here to study and to learn, first and foremost. I've received so much more than that though! Mind, body, and soul are satisfied and I am one with the Force (see previous blog entry). Greece is truly a full "body" experience.
Much love,
