Time with my own kind
now alone, world's frightening.
Where is my courage?
I've made the choice to travel solo, and for the most part it's been easier than I expected. I notice the effects most when I meet fellow travelers along the way, suddenly there are people to talk to in our shared mother tongue, about our shared cultural baggage, observations and ideas to bounce back and forth, small talk, security in purpose.
Then we must all go it alone again, journeys seem daunting, looks from strangers seem to contain more menace, streets lead to nowhere I know, I must stop, take a breath and swallow hard. Remind my heart that it is fearless.
