The time is now

A journey of a thousand li starts beneath one’s feet" ... and just now my feet are itching ... I feel ready to go. My bags ain't packed and I feel the process of finally letting go grinding slowly on. Letting go of what? My attachment to home and safe surroundings - of all the things, places and people I know so well? Probably ... but there are many questions, too ... like "Why would I want to go on a journey of a thousand li?" Well, I guess I have to find out ... to look and experience the world for myself. So, deep breath ... just four more days before departure.
