A PLACE TO CALL HOME

Late night contemplation and the stillness that settles over Seattle at this time of night has me looking out onto the dark water with thoughts of settling down and calling one place home. Unfortunately, being a Canadian expat living in the US, dealing with matters such as Visa status, political apathy and a healthcare system that lacks support for us young invincibles, doesn't really bode well for long term living...but that is alright...process of elimination just opens doors to the possibility of joining the international jetset! Alright. Focus. Excitement has me going off the rails on tangents.

A stable home base would be lovely. Although I love my petite nest more than words, the initial sensation of displacement (that usually takes about 6 months to fully shake) still hangs, perilous, like the Sword of Damocles...Dear friends and the closeness that comes with them are sorely missed, favorite haunts have yet to be discovered and a really solid local coffee partner, with whom to extoll the virtues of how to eat a messy sandwich (this link is HI-larious), is a partnership yet to be found.

Then again, the heaviness of my heart's current state could be due to the lack of sun and the need to get out of the studio and into the city (or park...or beach...or mountain). I'll let you know in a few months time.
