We never really leave a place.
When we leave behind friends, farewells are filled with celebrations, goodbyes, gifts, and phrases like "so long for now" and "see you next time".
When we leave a house, we similarly take some parts of our life with us to our new home.
A particular way of hanging up the washing.
A specific morning routine.
That couch that is just way too comfy to get rid of.
And we fit these elements of our old home into our new one. Or we select a new home based on how we want to live, based on what we want to bring with us.
How much of what we bring along is simply habit, and how many things are elements of true discover of how we want to live?
What is it that, if we let go of it, would allow us to discover new parts of what it means to live well together?
