Moving On...

Here is a little bit from my new post.  Click here to read more.

You may have followed me or met me on my trek around the world (as pictured above) and are interested in what I have been up to since returning to Canada.  Just a forewarning, this next part will get a little personal, so, I give you permission to skip this post entirely, if you wish.
The story begins…
I landed in Canada, barefoot.  Behind, rolled my tattered red suitcase.  Was this the four-hundredth airport I’ve seen in the past two years?  Well no, but it seemed like it.  My mind, weak and weary, urged my tired body on.  After almost two years on the road, I’m home.
Then, “Hello!  Welcome home, how are you? How was you trip?”.  All the friends, all the family.  Weddings, parties, speaking engagements.  Move, buy a car, start a job.  Entertain over-seas visitors, be a maid of honour, try to fall in love.  Still jet-lagged.
Six weeks later, the whirlwind of excitement slowed.  I sat alone in a basement apartment, not knowing who I was anymore.  I questioned my purpose, my place.  Distancing myself, I tried to figure it out.  I had seen atrocities that burdened me.  My job was opposite to who I was.  I found myself desperate to change something, but unable to.
