“ My professional life had started and here I was at a professional dinner full of uninhibited drinking. ”
I’d learned so much from traveling to familiar places that I figured I’d learn twice as much by going to a place I knew nothing about.
~ Gerry Abbey
It was one of those striking moments in life where you find familiarity in the inexplicable.
And so we went. And so it went. And, slowly, I began to learn: speaking in the same language does not equal communication, especially when there is a cultural divide.
I looked out again at the rising moon and I let the weight of my day, my week, lift away with the rushing wind as I was blown into the depths of myself.
