Travel Log - Aug. 6 - Sun Country flight - MSP-->SFO

a journey begins

trepidation, confidence

thus, I forge ahead

While I was in Minneapolis for a month, it just now feels like I am embarking on my adventure. Westward, ho; on my journey and there's no turning back. Cleveland and Minneapolis are placeholders, each adding to and enhancing my life but both not my choice, rather my circumstance. What lies ahead, what awaits is up to me, the path unfurling, unplanned, unknown.
11 days out west, if Portland is meant to be on this trip it'll happen; if not, something else is in store.  While the calm comforts of friends, dirt cheap rent and having made a great life for myself in Cleveland are in my mind, my wanderlust is insatiable. The winds whispering to me to carry on, head west, a course is being charted. The path appears moments before I take each step; like headlights cutting through dense, midnight fog, each curve illuminated exactly when appropriate, the path behind solidified in memory and confidence - all indicating the next adventure awaits.
I can feel it in my soul. I'm headed towards the unknown. I am headed towards my destiny. From head to toe I'm filled with emotion [as I write this] so much physical, mental and spiritual energy. Sitting [here] in 16A, listening to Thao & Mirah, eyes brimming, a smile creeping across my face, this is it. Here I come.
