Australia - Alice Springs

One of the moments in the hostel. 

And than, he just left ...

... waking up in the middle of the night. Hot and sweaty. There was way too much action going on in her dorm. I went out to the toilet. Luca was sitting there alone ... at four o'clock in the night. Than he came. Happily. Telling that it's time to move on. It was like someone else was talking to me directly, but I wasn't able to listen. Lucca had decided to leave the day before. His friend will drop him of at the highway, so that he was able to hitchhike. To Darwin and than down the west coast. Lucca was part of my 'Heaven Family'. This young italian man, seley, charming, happy ... on his personal live journey. Not wanting to become anything. Being here to help others fixing their personal problem, how he was saying. Vibrant, honest, good. A lost soul wandering. On his journey of fullfillment. 

And than ... he just left. You have to move on, when the time was come. That were his last words. ... and I was still not listening. He just left. Alice. Heaven. Us. Me. 

The nasty part of traveling. The part I really don't like. Now he is gone. Alone. Out there waiting for his next adventure and lesson of life. Wandering to become stronger. Stronger for waht, I had asked him the night before. Of not being afraid, was his answer. Being afraid of what, was my next question. He did not had an answer. Everyone has their own reasons for travelling. Everyone their own rasons of running away, he said. I didn't ask anymore question. Thinking that we are running towards something and not away from something. I didn't asked her about his personal reasons and from what he was running away. I knew for myself that the start of a journey wasn't a running away. If a running, for sure, it was a running towards. Towards something that pulls me ... all of us. She didn't know about his dream. Somehow she felt that he is living his dream already. 

He travels light. No unneccessary bullshit. Simple. Easy. Not much belongings. What he is, he is from heart and by heart. His moments, experience, his life. I had to smile. He was a beautiful soul.
