Departure

I’m just taking a break right now from packing. Packing for a 2+ month trip down the Pacific NW. I’m also packing up the rest of my stuff and putting it into long-term storage.

It’s an interesting feeling. I feel there are two dynamics that compete for attention in my life. The first is being excited about potential, and wanting to really jump on it. The second is being excited about establishing deep and purposeful roots, of reaping the rewards of invested energy. Whenever I think about traveling, especially the type of free-as-the-open-road traveling I’m about to depart on now, those two dynamics go to war.

Often, the purposeful roots dynamic wins. But, without that “excited new potential” underdog getting the upper hand now and then, those roots have nothing to grow for.

So, here’s to new enterprises. And to figuring out what you want to bring back home with you.

Oh, also! Speaking of new enterprises, Perfect is done. Expect the PDF to go on sale the moment I figure out how to host/distribute it. Finishing a big project right as you cast off on a big journey is a really good feeling.
