Sometimes, Coming Home Just Isn't The Same Anymore
Been back in Montreal for a day short of two weeks now. It's been a different sort of vacation -- kind of like going home because it isn't all go-go-go. It's been a lot of down-time and me-time (translation MSN time) mixed in with hanging out with friends and peppered with the excitement of wedding preparations. Don't get me wrong, I've had a great time here... but it's just that... I .... yeah....
I think I've always seen Montreal in a bit of a glowing angel light -- not unlike that snazziest of lights they employ on Touched By an Angel ...... not that I watch that show of course... *shifty-eyed alli*. Somehow though, the light has dimmed. Not a reflection on the people I know -- who are great!! -- or the city I love, but just a realisation that life goes on, things change and you can't always keep coming home.
For the many nomads that I've encountered during my adventures in Vancouver, Montreal, Tokyo and Edmonton -- where's home?
