*home sweet home*
the past week i've been carving my grooves back in life in hk. it's been a blast seeing the norwegian girls again, my friends keith and christine from vancouver, joe lo and ryan and nic and grace chung and the whc cd release show and the sna-ers... and somehow everything feels just slightly different. maybe the five weeks in shanghai have somehow changed me. i feel like i see things differently. i guess this is unavoidable. every new experience adds another layer to my perspective. there are so many dimensions to life i don't think i could ever get enough of it.
i can't imagine staying in the same place my whole life. i was catching up with grace this afternoon and we both marvel at how small some people's horizons are. ever since i can remember, i've always wanted to go "somewhere else." i feel so blessed that i had a complete change in environment when i was eight. it wasn't an easy shift, but it was without a doubt one of the most enriching experiences of my life. i've always felt this yearning to move, to travel, to see what's out there and experience the world. it really is one of the most amazing things to take in the incredible array of people, cultures, languages - simply, LIFE - that the Creator have thought up. He is the most prolific artist i can think of. i don't mean to get all mushy, but life is just so darn good!! :)
alright alright.... it's not all about fun and games. i do have to think about packing at some point, something i'm not particularly looking forward to. hong kong is one of those places where is so easy to accumulate junk. i can't be hauling all that with me to mother's choice. communal living simply cannot allow it. the problem is, i've collected a lot of things which i intended for my own house when i settle... things i don't want to get rid of, but i might not need... *sigh* i'll have to face that mountain soon....
speaking of mountains, i realized yesterday that speaking to mountains is very important. if we want to move it, we gotta confront it and tell it to go. in fact i'm convinced it's the only way. so often we let our fears, insecurities and doubts keep us from standing up to the obstacles in our lives. what little faith we have! if we only had but a wee tiny bit of faith in the God we serve, we can make mountains fall into the sea! when was the last time you did that? the army of light will ALWAYS drive out the army of darkness. ALWAYS. i wish i could write more, but at 2am, i'm afraid i will not make much sense. better to recharge my brain first.... be back soon....
