I'm home - well, if we're being specific, I'm in one of my many homes, as I have meandered west to Moorhead, MN to catch up with some dear friends, (attempt) productivity, and transition back into this place.
No more Norway. Time for tales of a semester abroad-a daunting task when you consider just HOW much can happen in the span of 16 weeks. I'm not quite sure where to begin, what people want to hear, what the most important (if there is such a thing) part of my time in Lillehammer. All the while trying to practice what I've learned, being fully present where I am, wherever I happen to be, and just soaking in each beautiful moment. Whew.
Jet lag was non-existant on the return leg (thank goodness), goodbyes were said, customs were efficient and drama free, and THEN we were welcomed home by our waiting families! Dad was there to pick me up and sweep me upstate to where my mom and lovely sisters were waiting---with a cake that said "Hei hei!" They DO listen to me after all....and sometimes there's more than just babble that I say :)
It's good to be here. It feels surreal, but comfortable.
I have beautiful people in my life here in Moorhead....
at home in little old Esko....
and at camp, where I'm headed next....
in Lillehammer....I miss you all already.
and all those lovely wanderers who are scattered throughout this tiny and wide world-in the West Bank, Scotland, Germany, Denmark, England and countless other places.
"All who wander are not lost"
I'll keep a wanderin' as I go through these days and weeks of transition and acclimation. Thank you all for your love and support as I've traveled through this wild and crazy world...It's been an incredible experience and I am so grateful for all of you who what wandered with me.
Peace and happy wanderings to you dear friends....
