Ruski Days - Keep it Going

I couldn't decide what to do with this blog now that I've left Russia. Should I call it California Days or Texas days or wherever-I-am-next days? What's the purpose? This blog is about the human spirit, the desire to travel and experience new ways and cultures. Nothing related to a specific place, but rather a state of mind I've tried to create to deal with my own journey inside this washing machine we call life. I've decided to keep this blog alive. It will feature photos of whatever I please, anecdotes, recipes, stories and more.

Here is the first: Judge how you may, I don't do this for a living, so I don't need to please the critics.

The Race

I look deep down where my emotions dwell

Happy at times and melancholy as well

Now I might ask – what do I need?

Is it energy, spark, the drive to succeed?

For the answer, look both ways, my friends

For there you may find the means to amends

Look to the past, where your forefathers dwell

Look to the future, where only time will tell.

Its not the here, not the there, not the somewhere out there

Satisfaction comes from the just getting there.

Its not the beginning, its not the end, its the race my friend

Its the race that we endure, that makes us happy and mature.
