Fantastic piece on the tension between comfort and real experience! The Tiny Tim story perfectly captures how meaningful moments often happen when we're least prepared for them. I actually had a similar thing happen traveling through rural Thailand where a sick monkey kinda just changed my entire persepctive on the trip. The way small details end up being what we remember most is spot on.
Thanks! I'd love to hear more about your sick monkey story/change in perspective. Even the way you said that is profound.
And it's so true, isn't it, that it's rarely the lavish dinners or excursions or fancy hotels we remember, but the small moments of delight, sadness, laughter, a delicious bite of food...
