I grew up reading all of the Little house on the prairie books and many other westerns. I used to always dream of discovering new land. What it would be like to pick up and move out into uncharted territory and try and make a go of it. And i thought those days are over. There is no more adventure and excitement. Everything has now been discovered.
however, as I was walking back to my apartment here in Taiwan. Surrounded by foreigners and pavement. A language and world that is completely not my own I had this thought that I a too am discovering a new land. Only in a new way. Survival is still unknown, the future full of possibility, set back and unknowns. BUt there is this idea of adventure because for me this is all new all foreign and completly different from anything I have ever known.
Its not easy. Some days its really hard. Living with 9 girls is never easy throw in 5 different cultures let alone personality and its like you are on a different planet. But its amazing...its wonderful....I have never felt so alive.
This frontier though peopled with incredibly smart individuals. Is still a vast unknown. There is ground and territory I have never covered and never seen. I ask myself about my future and my calling the purpose for which I was created. AS I prepare to go home in two months and part of me wonders...am I called here?
Was I made to not live at home but to be a vagabond and world traveler? I don't know.
