travel often gives moments of bliss

so many people I know have loved Africa, for the awe you just described

do you do Egypt?

I've always wanted to

their art is so unique

I have this beautiful little gold scarab jewelry set give to me by an Egyptian traveler

so in a sense, I carry a bit of Egypt about me, like a promise of what awaits me

Yep, can still remember that and other similar incidents, perfect moments of joy.


Do you consider those moments parts of your calling?

It seems to me that the moments Fox and you are describing are bliss in the traditional sense of the word, not bliss in the calling sense of the word. Lying in a hammock soaking up the sun, or watching game and mountains in Africa are wonderful experiences, but are they what is meant by "following your bliss," which is what started this discussion?
