I don’t really feel like I needed a welcome home party or to buy myself something special after surviving this jaunt across the border. I left and came back. No big deal. I definitely want to tour Europe or South and/or Central America and stay in hostels the entire time. I also decided after going to the Royal Ontario Museum which had 4-hours worth of cool stuff from bugs to ancient artifacts to bats to dinosaur bones that I MUST touch the head of a beluga whale one day. I forgot that I saw one on a Sesame Street episode and knew I had to touch its white marshmallow-shaped head one day.
I also want to acknowledge the incredible loss in the Norwegian community of 80+ people. We as a people must learn how to love and deal with aggression in a positive way. Unloving people hurt people. You don’t have to kill to hurt. Some people have been terrorized emotionally by unloving people. Those crimes don’t make the news but have just as much impact.
Now I’m back sitting on my bunk at camp. Refreshed, I have 24 minutes before I start my job again. Countdown starts later this week. Almost home!!
Peace and blessings.
