back home again

She sits once again in the comfortable chair in front of her computer. click click click. She was out in the wilderness for nearly a month with giant bullfrogs, new friends on bicycles, and all kinds of different faces, some old, some new. This year was a "re-evaluation" year, she muses. Recently, maybe she's been too complacent in her little world that she made for herself. All dreams that she thought would make her happy have come to fruition, but that element of surprise and romance disappeared completely. She had to travel to a small island, put her luggage on a boat, and have the safety ticket taken away completely to once again experience a feeling that she can only describe as solitude.

Solitude, the beginning of a new journey, a trip to outer space.
