What Is Mu?

I fondly reflect on my travels around the world. On one particular trip to Tanzania I got into an engaging conversation with a Masai warrior. I felt so connected with is stories even though we lived in different worlds. Our time together was only fleeting but it showed me how connected we all are. I was a tourist to be exploited and he was a human holding on to a past that is quickly disappearing. It felt sad in some ways but I also admired his resolve to live a life that seems light years away from our modern society. This interaction was an awakening for me: we live side by side but in different worlds.
