I have never been away from home for so long. These past 9 months have seemed like a dream. At times it feels like forever and at the same time I feel like my time here has only just begun.
I am humbled by life. I have long since given up on trying to figure out what the universe has in store for me. All I can do is open my arms and my heart and take what is given and be grateful for the love, friendship, and wonder that surrounds me.
I have a new appreciation for family and home. I miss my Mom so much. Her embrace. Her laughter and her smile. It means so much to me. Her love is the most precious thing I have ever known. It's been difficult to be far from that. Still I am better for it. So many doors have opened. The fresh perspective of living somewhere new and the beauty that San Francisco has to offer fills me with positivity.
I am counting the hours till I catch my flight home. It's hard to put into words the feelings deep inside me. My senses are alive with anticipation. And to top it all off I get to see my favorite band kick off their world tour.
Its a beautiful thing to have two homes. I am a very lucky man.
Here is a lovely rare tune from one of my heroes. It pretty much captures what I am feeling at the moment.
