Tuesday Sept. 19, 2006 - Year 4, Day 182 - changing directions
perhaps the wisdom of ancient Sufi poets from Persia hold the answer
‘It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I’ve gone and come back, I’ll find it at home’. – Jalal ad-Din Rumi (1207-1273)
last night I steered myself home, the trip to Edmonton & back is a bit of a blurrrrrr, good trip, good meetings, as short visit with Carla, dinner @ Louisiana Purchase with Krista + some loot from Bonton Bakery followed a busy day in Edmonton, a client meeting & reconnecting myself with some people there seems strange now, less like going home & more like going to visit some place I used to know but so much has changed direction
or maybe, just maybe, it is the think time that a 6 hr. round trip drive provides; time to examine the directions I travel; I regret not one of the directions I’ve taken, the paths I’ve traveled though sometimes I really wish I had been more alert about my options at a much earlier age – but then, I wouldn’t be the me that I am
