Roots and Wings

Written on 3.3.2010 in Oxapampa, Peru:
The Luck of Libby is having both deep roots and strong wings. Thank God for my open minded, yet caring parents, abiertos y cariñosos. I was given both stability and adventurousness under the same roof. Of all the places I've been, I know there's no place like home, but I've only learned that by seeing, doing, feeling, being and learning in places far from these comforts. For me, being here now in Peru is the ultimate journey physically and spiritually. It's the precise moment in my life in which I am able to fully absorb it and acknowledge it for all that it is. Not to say that I won't continue to fly and continue living primarily away from home, but I feel a distinct sentiment of peace overcoming me, as though I had been searching for something that I have now found. Following my heart has not always been clear and easy, but it is a way of life that stems from my roots. We all have the ability to live this truthfully, to live for ourselves. We have only to overcome the challenge of looking deep within.
