250

a slow process but - i am learning what is really important. i'm learning what matters to me. i get flashes and peeks of where i really belong.

more and more i am seeing my life as an adventure where i have been luckier than most even if i didn't experience them the way i thought i should or thought i would.

more and more i see those adventures continuing and opening up the world wider to me even as i keenly understand the profound wisdom in dorothy gale's quest to go home. a wisdom i never understood until i left "home".

i will never go back. not to who i was. no, this adventure, these adventures have carried me high and changed me and in doing so has changed others.

when i make it to where i belong it will be because of these adventures and with these adventures close by my side and rooted deeply in my soul.
