Ten hours of driving later and I’m back in Cali, the first leg of a roundabout whirlwind laid-back frenzy of a trip. Redding still looks like Redding. Nice to see the girl-child and gKids though, along with other sundry family.
The next leg is physically shorter, a few more hours south. Yet the journey is much, much longer. Each step taking me farther than I have ever gone, to places I’ve never been. Similar places, yes. But this different. Energy coming, minds moving, words dancing, bodies moving in new dimentions and new directions. I can feel my spirit growing, my soul expanding. Racing headlong into…what? A new adventure? A new relationship? A soul-mate? What does it mean when you suddenly meet someone you have known for lifetimes, when you can physically feel your universe shift?
We shall see. Expectation management is, as usual, a major problem. It is easy to say, relax and enjoy the ride. It is much harder to put it into practice.
Even if it ended today, I have been changed forever. It goes to show, be careful what you wish for….
