It’s been a bit quite here lately. My apologies for the lack of updates. It doesn’t mean nothing has happened, rather too much has been going which prevented me to post here.  I’ve moved to a different city into an apartment. I could write a post about that, all the interior design involved.

Also, I started a new assignment and on the train rides getting there, I’ve been reading my new favorite magazine, Monocle. In their latest issue they interview Arianna Huffington who says the following:

“I believe in reincarnation. Even if you don’t believe in reincarnation - it’s hard for me to look at life and not believe that it didn’t have any purpose, that it didn’t have any continuity. I can’t believe that all things have a short time and then it’s all over.

I’m amazed that people who think it all ends with death can accept that. Socrates, my compatriot, used to say, ‘practice death daily.’ He didn’t mean it in a morbid way, he meant that if you practice death daily, then you put everything that happens to your life in perspective.”

I like how train rides can give you this. Introspection. Step out from the traffic jam and give hands out of control for 30 minutes or so.
