A Journey

I was not born here so I cannot call this place my homeland. 
This is the place where God, in his loving grace led me to choose.
This is the place that embraced me as a lone traveler
     in search for life's meaning.
The place where He proved Himself true to His promises
The place He took me on a journey of the mind and spirit
while I physically put down roots twenty two years ago.

This shall be a work in progress as I gather the pieces together.
I have lived close to this place,

A crowded and noisy night market.
This brings back the memory of a time when I have to put myself to sleep each night
 listening to a recorded phone message of His verse, read in a language I do not yet fully grasp
just to hear a voice directly spoken to me.



A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. — Lao Tzu, Source: Tao Te Ching,
