Coming Home

One of Rem's comments about being back in BC today resonated and reminded me of a quotation I came across the other day. It's from Northern Exposure, a slightly off the wall television show from 10 or 15 years back.


'As you may know, I spent the last three months in Africa. A wondrous, magical place. But as shadows lengthen across the KBHR window, thoughts turn to homecoming. Journey's end. Because in a sense, it's the coming back, the return which gives meaning to the going forth. We really don't know where we've been until we've come back to where we were. Only, where we were may not be as it was because of who we've become. Which is, after all, why we left.'
