I’m on the way home now. The third place I have called home in my life. The first was Northern Minnesota where I was born and spent the first years of my life. The second is Western Kansas where I spent my formative years growing from a child to a young adult. And the third is Southeastern Minnesota where I grew from a young adult to an adult. Though there are many who may argue that I never truly grew up. Hehehe. The point is that I am going home. After seeing the home I grew up in for the first time in 30 years. And realizing just how beautiful it was and is. Yes, it is a harsh land, and now I return to a land that is far more comfortable. Far more livable for a Northman such as myself. But I found beauty, and I will not forget it.
