I'll tell you more about my life overseas, but for now I wanted to share a bit of my heart. Perhaps this best expresses my journey. I lived a mere 20-minute drive from this castle for over 14 years. It's one of those places you can go to just soak in the feeling of magic. I don't live near many places like that now. Or maybe I simply haven't found them yet. Whichever the case, I live with a sense of duality. I have a tug of war on my heart between the two places on earth that I call home.
Home
My heart is torn betwixt two places
And yet I cannot go
The path once traveled
Lies in wait
And beckons me back home
But here I find the worlds not there
And there the things not here
So as I live another day
My heart goes to and fro
I'll brave a path that winds and bends
To distances not taken
And find my place in lives now shared
In values not yet shaken
So onward to this home I lack
I stay another day
Knowing that when time has come
My other place awaits
