Midnight Reflections: Shifting Shadows

Now I'm sitting here, in the Hamburg airport waiting for my 13 hour transit flight to Jordan to visit my family for one week before coming back.  Amsterdam was insane. I love it there. I love how open the people are. I felt like I could be friends with anyone around me and deeply connect with people I've only seen for the first time. A feeling you don't get too often in Germany.  My flight from Amsterdam to Hamburg was at 6:55 in the morning and I was at a rave I had to leave at 2 am to make it to the aiport in time.  So far, up until now, I've only had short bursts of sleep every chance I get. I'm never flying such a short flight so early in the morning, the second you fall asleep is the second you wake up again because the plain would have already landed.  Oh, let's not forget I had a cold the entire time I was there because I spent most of the two days before flying to Amsterdam recording the last bits of the online course. My throat was dry and my nose was always packed. But I pushed through and tried to have the best time I could. Sometimes I didn't have the energy to go as far as I wanted to but the entire trip was relaxed enough to make it worth it and not too exhausting.  What a lovely place, the Netherlands., a system where everything 'bad' is allowed but with everything functioning so damn well. It's a beautiful thing. it's 11:21 AM right now, I should be in Amman tomorrow at 3 in the morning.  I guess some reading is due.
