The visit to a land lost in time and space

My recent trip to Thailand - Phi Phi Island

I was really looking forward to this trip, for many reasons. It had been a tough year so far and I wanted to spend some quality time with a dear one. It didn't seem possible initially, with the new job and my recent medical track record, but creative visualization and my angels helped make it happen.

Thailand showed me a new perspective on life. It taught me a lot. It showed me that freedom is a relative term. This piece is about the best part of my trip. Its about an island that touched my very being. 

  

Phi phi Island was my home for three nights. When I arrived at the island, I instantly knew I was about to fall in love and I was absolutely right.

It was an island lost in time and space. A tiny piece of land surrounded by beautiful beaches, and breathtaking limestone mountains covered in lush green forests. The colors of the water changed with the time of day. The breeze, carried with it the smell of the magnificent ocean .

The collective consciousness of the island was one of peace and bliss. There were no newspapers which meant no bad news. There were no vehicles, which meant no pollution, no road rage, no parking stress and no noise. There was no television, which meant no unnecessary waste of time and consciousness.  The food was so fresh, it was caught a few minutes before you set your eyes on it. The people were soft, calm and so unlike their brothers and sisters from the cities. How could there be anything else other than peace or bliss here?

The nights converted the island into one big party. Young people from across the globe, dropping inhibitions and differences and just having the time of their lives, as if the world was coming to an end.

It felt like this was a dream or I had died and moved on to the hereafter. How is it possible that just a few thousand kilometers away from all the chaos, anger, hatred, wars, deaths and evil, there existed this tiny island where life was the way it was meant to be. Blissful and peaceful. How was it possible that you weren't judged by the color of your skin or your wealth, or by the passport you held or by your beliefs and your idea of God. You were a human being, sharing this divine piece of land with other human beings and animals wholeheartedly.

The island had the power to suddenly awaken you. It felt like finally I was one with life. One with the pulse of the earth. All this in just three nights. Imagine living here for months. Maybe someday I will give up on all my possessions, move to phi phi and be an island girl. For now, I carry the island in my heart reminding me that differences are just man made and life is more than all the petty excuses for negativity. Life is grand and is meant to be lived in harmony, with a heart full of gratitude.

Phi phi Island, the place I felt my pulse for the first time.
