I have been in Cavaillon for almost a week now with no electricity or running power. Once a day, if I have the chance, I give my phone to Total and let him charge it, but it is dead for most of the day and I don’t think I mind too much. Here, I feel relaxed. Yes, I hate the mosquitoes and I constantly feel like I need to shower, but the reality here is so simple. Life is so simple. I spend hours on the river, swimming and floating. I just let the water take over and let it consume me. I know it will never hurt me. I trust the river, in the same manner that I trust the ocean. I am one with waves and I feel most happy within them, moving slowly; sun hitting my face. It is the most calming and relaxing time to be alone in the river with my thoughts. With a brain like mine that moves 100 miles per second, I need time to be at ease, and the water provides that for me. My thoughts slow down and become more clear. I understand my place in the universe and it is easier to talk to God this way. It’s just myself and Him, together.
