Road tripping into my alma mater, I have reunited with old friends. It’s amazing to feel time disappearing. As if not a moment has passed since our last visiting. Even while masked, at social distances, in the sweltering heat, the essential connections continue.
The space, however, has changed greatly. Roadblocks surround my old house. The creek where my dog, Sam, once played is cemented over. I blinked, and miss the entirety of campus town. Newly constructed boxes replace old ornate Victorian architecture. On the outer, I find there is no there, there.
What do you find when you go back? What goes with you as you go forward? Ki to Happiness finds plenty here, Here to companion me on my way.
