Departure

In the twilight days of the 11 month stay in my parents house, I embraced that which I had touched and tasted the final crumbs of the plate. Looking forward, I believe the coming journey will be different than past travels. In the past I felt the immanent soil was polluted and I needed to uproot myself and replant in distant earth. Today I feel more complete and grounded. I think tomorrow's travel is similar to the migration of the Junco, who senses the change in climate and heads to the mountains for the summers of life. I believe this is the nature of the coming journey to Japan. As with all adventure the terrain and paths are unknown, but with maturity the objective and destination are clear. May they stay so.

Be strong! Be strong! And may we be strengthened!
