I saw a preview for "The Motorcycle Diaries" the other night,
and it described Che Guevara as "the most complete human of his time..."

So, I have started wondering what it would be like to be described as complete.
I am surely not there yet,
but in some ways, I feel complete. I found this something in Nepal, each time I go back, I find it more deeply.... and whatever it is,
it completes me.
Better yet,
it is completing me as I continue to become.
Che did good things, and he fought for people, for certain.

The other thing the preview said was, "Let the world change you and you will change the world."
I think that's what made Che complete--
he let our world change him.

So, as I consider my opinions, and mull over my ideas,
I like to pick out the ones that have been changed by the world.
My friend Jessica was in town this week, and she asked me,
"Why do you keep reading your journals?"
Now, I don't have this habbit of reading the things that I have written,
but I wanted to see where the world had changed me.

It's fun to see areas where I have had a plan, or an idea, or a thought-
and through people, places, or just the world, it got turned upside down.
