Today, a short post, because there is much and more to do before I leave Fairfield in three hours or so.
Leaving my friends is always a sad affair. It is so nice to be with them. It feels like living in a little protective cocoon of love. That's Fairfield for me. Though like a cocoon, I tend to not get much work-related stuff done while I'm here. It's so easy to just do the minimum and spend the rest of the time with friends. The part of me that is Bilbo Baggins before he met Gandalf would like nothing better than to stay in this comfy Shire and well-equipped hobbit hole, visiting friends and going on strolls.
It's not quite right to say I hear the call of adventure and the itch to travel. It's just that I want to achieve my main goal of Self-realization, and also hone my gifts to be as useful to the world as I can. And that requires doing things and being places other that fun homey Shire activities. Maybe someday I'll be able to return, like Bilbo.
For now
I must away, ere break of day,
to find my long-forgotten gold
;-)
Take care friends and family, and know that I love you deeply
