a year in review



America...England...Sudan...Kenya...Zanzibar...Tanzaniza...
Kenya...Scotland...Switzerland...Lichtenstien...Switzerland...
Scotland...England...America...???

Was it just the end of 2004 that I left my sailors life? I feel like the past year I've been trapped in a global spaghetti junction of transitions looking for the right exits and following all those orange detour signs.

Aaaah... 2005. It is almost over... Finally!

I'm still not sure that I know which way that I'm going. And it is frustrating to find myself right back where I seem to have started this year. I guess that is why I needed to look back at the year and see where I've been. To see that while I've been frustrated going nowhere, I've been all over the map.

It's all in the journey.


If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey,
most of us would never start out at all.
