Coffee and cheese and going home.

Posted on March 14, 2018 by Christi

I post on this blog every Wednesday as a matter of course. Often this space serves as a way to share resources and new books and wise words from fellow authors; on occasion it works as a journal: a tether between life and writing, a place to sort through all that keeps me sane (though “sane” is relative, last night I was less-than-so as I slammed the blender into a batch of chocolate chip cookie dough, baking at a time when I could have been meditating). Today these words are more life than writing as I sit in the airport waiting to fly home to see family, to help a sister, to love a nephew. Today it is about the sunshine pouring in the window, about this moment of gratitude for good health, for family. About a strong cup of coffee on a strange table fashioned in the form of cheese–reminders that home is in two places and my heart is stitched into the binding of both.

    Will be thinking about you and wishing you a good trip, Christi. While I don’t have a sister, I can imagine how grateful yours will be to have you there for a while.

    I love that line — “…home is in two places and my heart is stitched into the binding of both.” Beautifully said.

    Have a safe trip home and enjoy your family time. I completely understand being tied to two places at the same time.
