2006. I’ve been quiet lately- I apologize, but my brain has been a whirlwind. I am alive, well, and working in Lisbon, Portugal. As I have not been tethered to a computer for the last few weeks, I have had time to think, to write, and to pay attention to what I have learned thus…
I will have no car. I will have no job. I will have NO HOME. Homeless. I am aspiring to be homeless- let’s make sure we’re all clear on this point. I will have no safety net.
Travel has made me kinder, more understanding of others, it has taught me there IS a bigger picture, it has taught me that I don’t know as much as I thought I did. It has also shown me things I never wanted to see. Starving, barefoot, dirty children with weapons trying to make a living at 7 or 8 years old.
