Today I finally feel as if the me that I know and love has returned from her journeys. I'm slowly unraveling the tale of her quest.
"It is positively insulting how well the world functions without one. While the traveller has been away questioning his most basic assumptions, life has continued sweetly unruffled. Friends continue to collect matching French saucepans. The acacia at the foot of the lawn continues to come along nicely."

it's so nice to see the you that you know (and the you that you show whether you feel it or not)
it will be so nice to meet you one day. holding thumbs for that.
It is comforting that the world moves along without me. I can retreat into myself when I need to and pursue interests and paths that I need to. Being anonymous suits me. I can quietly get on with being myself.
The world does not need consumers, it needs producers. I produce in the relative facelessness of my job. I create a smoother work environment for other people, so that they may have more energy at the end of the day that they can send out into the world. The company I work for is also very strongly geared towards community involvement, so every bit of money I save the company by implementing a good, efficient solution doesn't go into a corporate pocket, but instead into the community.
I have found a place where I can nest comfortably, or scratch away busily, just as the mood takes me, while keeping my interfaces with the world and earth steady and positive.
Your photos and words always give a person something to think about.
I think I've come and gone most of my life, I guess I'm away right now, hopefully I'll be returning soon as well - it's exhausting.
