Lost & Found in Space & Time


For awhile now i have been working with the feelings that come with this transient lifestyle i lead. It is so easy to get lost when you travel like this, i don't mean not knowing where you are, rather not having a sense of where home is. I have recently moved through an interesting state of angst around the image of the packed bag on the floor and experience of being airborne once more. What tends to come with that it is the question "Well where do i belong?" Maybe i suffer from too much mobility perhaps, I don't know, to many people who feel trapped i am in an envious position, a symbol of freedom. But this kind of freedom comes with its own unique orientation challenges. What helped me move through this feeling was letting go of where i was living and allowing myself to flow with this freedom to move, and not get caught up in the disorientation of being adrift. Being present with where ever you are is the key. Its all flow which ever way you go. Finding yourself depends on what map you are following. If you do get lost you can always change maps.
