Returning: an initiation
A journey through the wild and urban worlds we hold within ourselves...
"Beauty. Challenge. Initiation. Commitment.
This road has often reminded me of stories you sometimes hear told of birth, of almost-mothers saying, "Wait! Take this back! I'm not ready!" But pushing through, committing, you bring something into this world, that lives and breathes and laugh with you.
I speak my truth...
Picking the fruit of what's been growing all these years with the sun and rain of those who've nurtured me. No matter how many times I've changed location in this one nomadic life.
I've always found amazing people and communities.
We're here to support each other's growth-being a traveler means having family everywhere, being at home in every landscape, no matter how rich or sparse the soil under your feet." - Christina Michelle Leyva
