Luck

I'll post about Bali soon, but in the meantime, I wanted to write something about luck. Dumb luck. Super typhoon Lando has been pumelling the Philippines and though the people I met are safe, their towns and livelihoods lay in ruins. 

I missed the storm by a week, and here I am on a boat in Bali with nothing but blue skies and calm seas ahead. It's unfair that I'm just a tourist- a traveler- I breeze in and out, I take in the beauty and bounce. Yes I'm lucky that I'm safe and that I missed the storm, but other than my own physical safety, I have nothing to lose, while everyone I've met along the way did.

Dumb fucking luck.

I wish everyone blue skies, perfect swells, safety, and luck.
