We shall not cease from our exploration
And at the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time - T S Eliot
I'm sitting at the Haymarket cafe in Northampton, MA. Last time I was here I do not think I owned a laptop - I may not have imagined I ever would.
I find myself calm and enjoying a nice cup of coffee. My visits here in the past few years have been kind of stressful at times - Western MA has a lot of mixed messages and memories for me. Today, however, this trip is just another day, another stopping place along the road, and I think I am seeing it with new eyes and perspective.
I brought all I needed with me to enjoy the day - me. And that "me" just grows more enlightened, (hopefully) more secure in wherever I am. It has occurred to me that perhaps if I had that all along, this place wouldn't have had such a collection of wacky memories for me. Perhaps not.
