What greater questions can there be than the mystery of life? I nearly solved this on a trip to Machu Picchu.
We had a meal in Cusco, where I made the rookie traveler mistake of having a drink with ice in it (the best mojito I’ve ever had). By that night, I had a terrible stomach bug.
I was still feeling terrible the next day, which was New Year’s Eve, and our friends had invited us to a beach party. Insistent that I couldn’t miss the party, my friend took me to the doctor and told him that I needed to be better in time for the event. He gave me a monster injection and sent me home.
I didn’t get better, so they went to the party without me, but by then, I was spinning out. I saw black and white spirals and went places that no other human had ever been. Some higher power entered my mind, and I finally understood the meaning of life. I had special insight to see who my true friends were. Man, it was a wild night!
Sadly, the next morning, although I remembered having an epiphany, I couldn’t recall what it was, so the meaning of life remains a mystery. Who knows what was in that injection, but whatever it was, it was powerful stuff.
