...on a jet plane...

[i wrote this on the plane ride from Vancouver to Toronto today...]

here i am, sitting on a plane, willing it to get to Toronto, the next short season in my life, faster.

i feel like the plane, heading to one place from another, in between. i’m pondering memories of this last fall and the blessing of friends in Vancouver, as well as getting really excited to spend the holidays with my precious family and to rest. and i’m afraid that the former may effect how well i engage the latter.

someone once said, “wherever you go, there you are.” i like it and it should be/needs to be true for me right now. i want to be fully present where I am today, not willingly lost in remembering yesterday and anticipating tomorrow. and I guess, right now this means me leaving/ arriving on a jet plane, reflecting on where i am right now.

sigh…life.
