But I hadn't wanted my destination to be foreign - I was just passing through, voyons! And yet, as a friend was explaining to me the reasons why she couldn't possibly live in Europe, the reasons to which I once subscribed myself, words crossed my lips and cut deep into my conscience; words so unlike what I had heretofore been proclaiming.
"I do believe this is the first time I've ever heard you speak in favor of the foreign," she said, slightly amused.
I am walking toward a place, living in a place, weaving existence in a place I thought I could not love.
Destination: most definitely unknown.

Home to me is where I hang my hat.Someone asked where my home was and I answered right here.
Isn't it funny where God takes us, even when we're so adamantly opposed (or *think* we are)? :)
I sure am glad where you ended up - all these wonderful pictures you are sharing with us!
Hung where I can see it daily, is a little slip of paper that was given to me by my daughter when she was a young teenager. It reads "Life is Journey, Not a Destination"
Interesting post and I love that photo. Wishing you a great weekend.
