Leaving Home

This is my view right now. Facing north from the back porch of home.

Sometimes we leave home, as much as we love it, so our bodies, minds and spirits can grow.

Travel does this.

Long ago, I had a roommate from Iceland who told me that there is a word in Icelandic that means "stupid" and also "never left home."

The next time you hear from me, I'll be in Oregon. And a little smarter.

But there is so much about the South that I love. And I will take the wisdom of home with me to the Pacific Northwest and we will all be a little smarter then.
