Destinations Unknown


“All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.”
~ Martin Buber

My mini-vacation is coming to an end today. I have spent a few days in Calgary with family. We had supper down town last night and ate well. Prior to that, I cashed in on a gift certificate to a spa. I felt quite relaxed as I was "wrapped" in a reviving concoction and left to soak in all its nutrients. Lovely way to spend an afternoon.

Calgary has been fun thus far. Now I am off to a conference which always brings me to a place I know well, as well as a surprise location. I am comfortable with my colleagues after 30 years and yet at the same time, I often find myself in a place I don't quite recognize. I look forward to both the planned and secret destinations of this conference. One surprise is that a friend from Florida is staying on campus too as she has a different training session she is attending. That is a lovely surprise. I will enjoy seeing her too.

Peace,

Suzanne

  2. Cilantro...that must have been the calming smell.
