Travel lights me up for many reasons but one of the biggest is the space to gain perspective on life "back home" and remind me of who I am without the noise. Thank you for sharing your perspective and now adding Cyprus to my list!
Thanks for helping us see that so clearly, Sarah. It's so true, this idea that travel reminds us of who we are without the noise and all the "clutter" of our lives. I am admittedly a bit overwhelmed coming back to life, responsibilities and stuff after living out of a suitcase for a while!
Thanks, Ron. I read your post; thanks for sharing. Yes, I think I could write much more about connection with the past and our ties to the future and what we’re creating for those who will come after. It’s profound, isn’t it? You perhaps don’t know I have arachnophobia so while the web metaphor is beautiful, it made me squirm. 😂 I’m so glad you had your whole family together on Zanzibar; that’s quite the feat!

Beautiful piece! I’m looking forward to reading more of your work.
Thank you, Priscilla! Thanks for also sharing to your Notes. I appreciate it
Meghan! I am riding this wave right along with you. My latest writings have been on the same things.
I am so happy to read I am not alone! Thank you.
True is always better than sparkly. Knowing who you are in this mixed up world is everything!
I totally agree. This is about knowing ourselves and not getting swept away by the pressure to fit in and keep up.
Hi Meghan, another thoughtful story, thanks! Perhaps long, as you say, but not overly so. When I read your words about the desire to connect, I thought back to something I wrote myself, in January, about connections across geographies, and across time.
