Note to self*
I am always moving; from one adventure to the next, from one high to another. It is only at these places of transitions that I feel the low. My mind has been so busy keeping up with all the excitement, all the sights, all the people; that I forget where my heart is. It‘s at these times that I ask, where is home? Who am I? Today I woke up in a bed not my own, tonight I shall sleep on another one. Where is home? Where is stability?
"Clearly I am a passerby but I’ll find a place to stay
Dear Pacific Day won’t you take me away"-Owl City

My life is a journey; I am a sojourner and time is my highway.
The memories of my past: all of the adventures I've had, the people I’ve met, the things I’ve experienced - they make me joyful yet nostalgic. I realize that I cannot have those experiences ever again. Time has always brought change. Although I look back on my memories I tell myself not to stay there. I’m ready to see what is ahead. My heart is searching for something - something that I can't pin down, but yet I know exactly what it is. I have filled out pages in my book already, but I’ve turned the page and a new one is waiting to be filled.
My life is a journey; I am a sojourner and time is my highway…
A song for this sojourn: "FIRST TIME" - Lifehouse
It’s the little things, the “first times” that make the essence of our memories that remain with us to enjoy for later in life. And it is the anticipation of the next "first times" that keep us moving on in life. I feel that this song really captures the spirit of what this part of my sojourn feels like.
"..Feeling alive all over again,
As deep as the sky, under my skin
Like being in love, she says
For the first time.."
"First Time" Lifehouse
Another song for this sojourn: "NEW SOUL" - Yael Naim
This song reminds me of the fresh desire of a "young soul" waiting to experience life. I find that throughout my journey, I find that even the imperfections of life are part of the beauty of my journey.
"I’m a new soul - I came to this strange world;
hoping I could learn a bit bout how to give and take.
But since I came here,
felt the joy and the fear;
finding myself making every possible mistake...
la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la…"
“New Soul” -Yael Naim
