Its refreshing being able to live without a schedule. Without restrictions, summer is a time where we rediscover what life was like. Before computers, and televisions and even cell phones. As I continue to travel the world (one mile at a time), seeing life in different places has made me reevaluate how I live my own.
Standing on a train platform, desperately hoping the train will come on time (alas it never does). But it reality, a train station is an important metaphor, a stage of our life. Literally, you have to know where you came from, where you are and where you're going. At that point, you can see into the future and you can look back at the past, all in the present.
This summer has certainly been a trying experience for me. Spending half my life in a different place, thinking about the great turmoil that will occur all around me. Change is bittersweet; you can never know what will happen, but you'll always know what you're missing.
As they say, "C'est La Vie" -That's Life
