I prepare this journey, and myself, since months. I think about it since years. Looking back I certainly think unconsciously about this journey since my twenties at the times of my stays in Taiz\u00e9 and in the San Masseo community in Assisi.<\/div>\n<div>Since the first days it was clear to me that India would not be only a tourist destination. Not only wonderful landscapes, amazing colours, unknown perfumes, beautiful palaces and mosques, ancestral cultures, and interesting people to meet. Not only that. India represents to me a spiritual universe to which I feel attracted. I feel that India is one of the places where I can deepen my quest of who I am, why I am here and now, and many other questions on the purpose of life and of my interactions within my daily eco-system.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>As I said to my family and to friends, I&#8217;m not going there to convert me to another religion or to follow a spiritual movement. I want to be there because India is the cradle of ancestral spirituality\/ies and because people are still strongly connected to them.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>My journey is my quest. India is one element of both of them. India is not the destination. The unexpected can happen. I&#8217;ll not be disillusioned nor disappointed. I&#8217;m ready for the unexpected because what will happen is what has to happen in my journey.<\/div>\n<div>Namaste<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I can finish this first blog post with same conclusion: &#8220;<em>What will happen is what has to happen in my journey with this blog<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/cnichele65\/collections\/72157666498573262\/\">all pictures and other sketchnotes of my travel in India<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My first blog post is about my trip in India in March 2016.
