Since 2006, I have had twelve different homes in six different countries. I (and now we) move a lot.
Toward the end of our time at each place (when I give myself the space to be quiet) an unbidden sense surfaces:
It is wonderful that I have had the chance to live here.
Certainly, leaving a place and then adjusting to a new one is not easy. It involves a great deal of loss. I sense, though, that it is all preparation, for when I have no more days, to be able to say with serenity:
It is wonderful that I have had the chance to live here.
