I had an interesting dream a few nights ago:

I was on a beach in a foreign country. Some of you know that it is my habit to look for shells on the beach, in order to make necklases or as souvenirs, so I was on the beach looking for shells. As I was looking I found something surprising - a HUUGE shell. I started to dig it up, and it was immence. I had never seen a shell like that before, it was the size of a dog. I thought the shell was wonderful, it was so beautiful and somehting I never expected to find, a total surprise. I began to think about how I could get it carried home (to Finland). But I realized that it would be incredibly difficult to get the shell to Finland. It wouldn´t fit into my suitcase and it would be impossible to carry, it was so heavy. So reluctantly I had to let go of the idea of bringing the shell with me.

To me it is pretty obvious what the shell refers to. I have found something here in Venzuela that I never expected to find, something valuable and beautiful, but it is extremely difficult - if not impossible - for me to bring what I´ve found here over to Finland.

Another thing: we have two new trainees here in Venezuela: a girl from Australia and a guy from Nigeria. The girl is right now in Caracas doing here training for Ruge and the guy arrived this morning in Maracaibo. I don´t have a lot of contact with the other trainees here in Maracaibo, except for Kasia cause I se her at work every day, but I think I might be seeing more of these two new ones. The Australian will be working with Kasia and me in Ruge and the Nigerian´s working place (the Wallstreet Institute) is really close to where I live. Nice!

:( Maybe the sea shell isn't as heavy as you think, or maybe it has legs and thoughts of it's own and can book a trip if that's what the sea shell wants. Unfortunately,in this case the sea shell does have free will, so the decision is the sea shell's and out of your control. Sigh. Sea Shell's are SO difficult sometimes. . .
