The picture is from inside St. Stephen Basilica. I love churches which is something I’ve really come to realize while traveling. The quiet in a church is just so welcome. Also they tend to be beautiful with great art.

Thinking of making changes churches become one place of contemplation but where else do we look for answers?

I have a few friends going through changes, must be something in the stars. Which is funny  because when going through change or contemplating a change I notice that often people turn to the stars. They start reading their horoscopes, consulting psychics or go on a big trip. Apparently the answer is within us but we can’t seem to get it out. It’s not clear, we feel like we’re in a muddle so we look for answers anywhere we can.

Travel also tends to bring clarity and I think it’s because you get away from the everyday. You step outside of living your everyday life and can suddenly see it with some perspective. It was over my trip in January that I knew I had to change. Which is a great first step, now maybe I need another trip to figure out what I that change should be. In the mean time I’ll contemplate in a church, read my horoscope and maybe listen to the ranting guy on the corner, you never know he might have the answer.

Also I will write in my journal because that often brings out some surprises and starts to give direction to an idea. The change isn’t going to happen overnight but I’m on my way and in the big picture my life is pretty good the way it is, I just think it could be better. Step by step I’ll find a new path, along with figuring out which way to go I need to remember patience.
