“Meaning comes from the unknown, from the stranger, from the unpredictable that suddenly knocks at your door – a flower that suddenly blooms and you never expected it; a friend that suddenly happens to be on the street you were not waiting for; a love that blooms suddenly and you were not even aware that this was going to happen, you had not even imagined, not even dreamed.
Then life has meaning. Then life has a dance. Then every step is happy because it is not a step filled with duty, it is a step moving into the unknown. The river is going towards the sea.”
– Osho
How wonderful it is to be back in Porto, Portugal walking near the Douro River. I have fallen in love with its movement, watching the river dance back towards the sea, as I step happily into the unknown.
