“Journey well.”
“Have a safe journey.” These
are two VERY common phrases that I hear from the people as I am about to say
goodbye. I hear this both from people I
have just met, as well as those I see every day. To be honest, it caught me off guard the first
couple of times, especially from those I knew I was going to see the next day.
In my head I would think “I’m just going home, sleeping and coming back here
tomorrow. It’s really not much of a journey!”
As the days pass, I have find myself continually pondering on this term journey and what really defines it. Before arriving in SA I would have explained a journey as a long trek or an extended experience. And now, as I reflect on my daily life, I have come to refine its meaning. Walking home or going to the grocery store in Masealama may not seem special, but it is PART of my journey - My journey of life.
I have come to embrace these parting words… They make me excited, and I feel like life is just one big adventure no matter what I’m doing! - And it is!
