Where do we belong?

I was struck deeply today, with the realization that I am, for the first time in my life living with 'no fixed address'. What made the moment even more troubling was the realization that I feel happy, light, and whole for the first time in many, many years. How can it be that with no ties, I feel my strongest? With no roots, I feel my happiest? With no predictable future I feel empowered? Am I deluding myself? Don't we all function more effectively with routine, with a base of constant knowns to build on? Maybe this has been the missing element in my life all along? Maybe I just hit my head on the window harder than I thought :) Troubling though, this realization. For if this is the case how do I hold down a relationship, get married, have children when I am most satisfied traveling? Questions, Questions, Questions.....I guess they are not for me to answer.

Happy, Strong and Empowered
Sall
