Reflections..
A new year begins...a new decade. The last one has whooshed past and I have sailed along, at times smoothly at times bumpily. Different lands, different lives, different people until finally I decide to head homewards, dock and rest awhile.
The day stays fresh in my mind..when I first left home as a nervous 18 year old, not really wanting to in my heart of hearts, but the vagabond in me yearning to take off. As the train chugged away from home and my mom's nervous face faded in the distance, I braced myself for life in the " Big Bad World ".
The journey starting from the city of my birth, has taken me to places near and far and the world has taught me a lot. Though I find that most of all the voyage has brought back to me numerous times, the words of Max Ehrmanns "Desiderata"
