Going home

People often say of a good thing that they can't believe how short time has been in doing it, whether they fully realized or not that the thing in the first place has been a good thing itself. I guess it is that moment when one suddenly understands that no one has the power to stop time from fulfilling its destiny, and that is to write history upon our selves and hearts, and to continue that process upon every soul on this earth. We are mere witnesses to what is Life, even as our life was used in bits and parts to create that overarching presence. In this grand scheme of things therefore, I must bid adieu to the process that has been this research/fieldwork and life journey rolled into one. Not now! But soon...

As usual, I for one don't want to stare down that tunnel's end just yet... I'm not close to ready to say 'goodbye' to anything, to anyone. But, I guess it's a mild relief to be able to pen my thoughts down for the moment to self-reflect and claim the obvious onset to the finale. Also, per the usual steps to winding down work and start up the relocating end of things, the logistical details of the next stage of our lives is all-consuming, and it's taking responsibility of the immediate nitty-gritty that keeps us forward at the moment. For instance, we still have to sort out where we'll live in Canberra next; Kimo's schooling matters; Wendell's work and workplace. We are pressed with thinking of how much $ we need to have this time round till the entire study journey ends; who's going to take care of Luna and Ozzy when we go; who's going to take/buy our soon-to-be ex-house furniture and stuff? Have I gone through all my junk piles hiding in boxes and underneath beds? And etc.

Wow... all I can say, again, is this journey's coming to an end... the next chapter will be unfolding soon... time has flown... it's been sweet... revealing... tough... challenging... hopeful... it's been everything!

G'day to all!
