The silence

First night in Luxembourg after 25 nights slept in Cuba...
I could not sleep...
I was tired...24 hours awake,
I was excited and with high adrenaline levels in my body,...as after an important event,
I was not used to my matress anylonger....too soft (I should change it soon or later ;)),
and there was silence.
There was not one single noise.
No one single light.
After having slept for so many nights with the background noises given by chattes, cars, dogs, cocks, wind,....as the voice of a Nation who never really sleeps....I was overwhelmed by the weight of the silence...
This never happened to me before,....me, that I sleep with earplugs because the single noise awakes me, that I sleep with an eye mask if it is not completelly dark in the room...I could not sleep..


This is what Cuba does, takes your beliefs and changes them...just open your heart and be ready to accept what it different from you, do not be afraid of the apparences, this Nation has too much to offer to you if you are ready to accept it...do not let your first impression to stop or scare you...




PS: at the end, I slept with the small light close to my bed on! ;)
