last week i was out to dinner with about 10 friends.
i was sitting at the end of the table, and everyone was laughing and talking.
as i sat there looking at them, i had a moment.
a moment in which i realized that if i were not sitting right there, nothing would be different.
if i had never come to indonesia, they would all still be sitting exactly where they were sitting, laughing and talking.
i could mentally remove myself from that table, from that restaurant... and everything was the same.
it was a little disconcerting.
but then i began to wonder about how many millions of other places in the world i'm not at right now, and how many other things are the same, without knowledge of my existence. i want to go to all of them. life is not quite long enough.
