Train home.

I have to confess......I am a little drunk!

We said a fond farewell to one of the guys today at work, he's off travelling around America.

Beers,some champagne and some sad laughter said the words that we could not, envy and fear for him made masks on our faces.

A little tipsy and full of love for the folks that I work with, I stumbled onto the train home. Watching the landscape roll by had me thinking of the journeys all over the world that I have done, and the journey of his life that is about to begin.

I wish him all the luck, his life starts now, daring to see the world on it's own terms, launching out into the unknown. A great adventure for him and a wonderful reminder of my life for me.

I arrived home feeling very tipsy indeed after another beer on the train......home...the return of my heart to the place that my soul has announced as home, a place that will be sanctuary, rest, peace and the grounding for all future travels.

Going on journeys is still part of my life.....but I love the Train home just as much, now that I have found a home.
