After my trip through England, Sweden and Iran this summer, do I feel more at peace with myself - with my past, my present, and my future?
Am I more excited about tackling the future that lies ahead, ripe with possibility and adventure?
The answer: I feel more strongly now than before my trip, that I have come from strong roots (with respect for my ancestors), have grown up in wonderful countries (with especial fondness for Sweden), that I am exactly where I am meant to be (with gratitude for Canada), and that my life path so far has traversed a path that has contained exactly the experiences I have needed for gaining a firm hand on the helm of my ship.
Yes, I feel more at peace with my past, with my multi-nation composition. By visiting and experiencing where I come from, I have gained understanding and a sense of closure on what's behind me.
And home is now where I allow my aspirations, commitments and friendships to unfold... yet, without closing any doors on anywhere else.
Kind of like a bird.
