Looking for my tribe..

I am finding it difficult to meet like-minded people. Moving to the other side of the world does that. This journey is perhaps a little more arduous than I care to admit. Surrounding myself with people is easily done but I can still feel incredibly lonely. I have even found myself feeling nothing, numb. Should it really be this difficult, I question?

When you think you have it all covered, life tells you otherwise.

A cold morning with a too -bright sun making driving a more challenging than normal activity was the start to my day. I am new to this thing you call driving. Calmly without thought or emotion I made my weekly trip to a local market characterised by vibrancy, colour, foreign faces and tongues - some of the things I look for on this journey I call my life. The mechanical motion of switching the car engine off coincided with the overwhelming realisation that I had left my old life behind, once divided between two far-away lands. It isn't the first time I have been caught with my guard down although you would never have thought it had you witnessed the calm slip away. Many times I have deliberately pondered my decision to move country and asked the forever frustrating Why and come up with something or nothing. Today was not one of those conversations. Today's experience came from ' out there ', whatever that might actually be for you or I today. From way up high, a gentle force reminded me where I was without permission.
