I've gotten pretty good at adjusting to wherever I end up, and I guess that will be put to the test as I embark on a three month journey on a bus... a bus delivering happiness... moving to a different location every couple days. So with so much movement, so much change... how do I stay where I am?
I was reading through old journals in my storage unit today and I stumbled across a funny line,
“Every time I find the meaning of life, it changes.”Funny how true that is. It seems just when you think you've figured it out, you have that "AHA" moment of clarity... something happens, and it's all gone. Those answers, those moments of clarity are just that... moments. They come when the questions that you currently ask are explained, but inevitably there are always new ones! After many attempts to find a meaning, I've realized that we give it meaning by what we do... so rather than looking for a final answer, I have instead been creating meaning in whatever I'm doing. Who knows, maybe that's not the answer either... but the pursuit of growth and evolution is what's exciting. Action is what makes me feel alive and inspired... it keeps me grateful. And when I'm grateful, I'm able to be where I am... so no matter where I end up, it always feels like home.
So, here I am, home sweet home!!
Today's Silver Lining:
"I'll wear my badge... a vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest, That tells your new friends I am a visitor here...I am not permanent, And the only thing keeping me dry is, Where I am, Where I am, Where I am." The District Sleeps Alone Tonight- by The Postal Service
