the Homecoming

Today was the first day I?ve really had a lot of exposure to the people whom I get my Christian fellowship at my parents house. To be there and to have people coming up and hugging me because I?m home, asking how it went and longing to hear the spiritual side of it (which I…

Last Reflections before France

Sitting tranquilly next to the person I used to be. This room, my bedroom at my parents house, surrounds and encompasses me, representing a life and person I used to live and be. There are things here, which I used to hold so dear to my heart, of a life I?ve moved past. Nothing-in particular,…

to Much to Ask

So I?ve been home a whole week now and I?m already angling to leave. I guess that my assumptions that my family would see me as different and changed, as grown in faith, were unfounded and unrealistic. My mom still looks at me the same as I was when I left, still talks to me…

The Place Where my Heart Understands

Quietly, slowly, and ever so softly the pressing persists. Each moment in time a sense of euphoria overruns your mind. So rhythmically the waves lap at you and brush up against your feet. Slowly caressing your ankles before receding back to the sea, before feeling in the footprints left by sand quietly, slowly, and ever…
