¡Hola Sue! :)

La psicología moderna llama "estado de flujo" (flow state) al mushin. Yo tengo el mismo problema, cuando yo escribo soy rápido, pero con una distracción pierdo el ritmo.

Para ser mejor hay que concentrarse en el proceso.

Tu español está bien, poco a poco :)

Great post capturing the flow state and its success! I just returned from a trip to Asia, including Japan. The spirit is strong there.

Nice!

I'm glad that trip and this post inspired you. Which countries did you visit?

Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Taiwan Hong Kong, Korea and Japan. I’m still reeling. Trying to finish up my series on Cambodia this week. Love your blog!

Nice! :)

That's a big travel, hope you enjoyed it. Did you encountered something special or unexpected?

The biggest issue for me was processing the spirituality of the people after such violent wars. The Cambodia bombing, the wars in Vietnam, Korea and Japan, all caused immense suffering. Yet the people have moved on, cultivating a resilient spiritual base that we in the West often ignore, to our detriment.

That's so true. For me, the most interesting thing about traveling is learning about other places, how they see the world, and what we can learn from others.

I don't like tourism that's just about taking photos and not experiencing the local reality.

I couldn't agree more. I feel a strong duty to learn and share what I find in the world with those who aren't able to travel.
