Sorry for the absence. Relocating house is crazy enough, but
relocating countries is immeasurably crazier.
The transition has been long and convoluted, with visits to family and friends
in other parts of the country before arriving in Darwin in the week just past. It was a perfect whirlwind revisiting my old
haunts and seeing everyone again.
Hitting the road for the drive to Darwin was initially daunting, but it
quickly metamorphosed in to a period of tranquillity and respite. I was captive in a vehicle on the move with
little to do except sit back, appreciate the ever changing scenery and reflect
on life.
Upon arrival, there were things to do and people to see, decision
to be made and things to be bought.
Arriving at our destination was almost an anti-climax after the previous
days of wistful repose and inactivity.
Faced with a new environment, it was easy to return to thoughts of New
Zealand and the joyous sensation that surges within when I do so. This was followed by a few days of
bewilderment and discovery, but slowly the dust is settling around me and a clearer
picture of my future is emerging. Its
looks magnificent.
