Fourteen years ago, when I was young and footloose, fancy free and all sorts of other clichés, I moved overseas. I spent 6 years living on 3 different continents and was fortunate enough to see the world through a constantly shifting set of parameters. Now, having been back in Canada for 8 years, those experiences seem further away, dulled somehow by the realities of time and kilometers and a busy life in the present. And then, suddenly, some event, some sensory moment will bring that buried past hurtling quickly and sharply in front of my eyes. And for a moment I will hold hands with my old self and bridge a wide divide.
Want to read the rest? Head over to Bloghers ACT Canada to see where the story goes.
