Who I am,
Where I am,
Entwined as one.
Where I am defining
Who I am.
Location, place,
Informed by time.
Time realized through age.
Age collecting fragments
Of time and place.
Who I am,
Where I am,
Entwined as one.
But disturbning time and place,
A disturbance infused with uncertainty,
Brings anxiety.
Relocation.
An uprooting from place.
Disturbed roots,
A feeling of loss.
Loss felt as loneliness.
Who I am,
Where I am,
Entwined as one.
New city, new job, new coworkers,
But no place to live.
No place to call home.
A house yet to be found.
Family anxious to join me.
Everything seems unreal, unsettled.
Lonely.
Who I am,
Where I am,
Entwined as one.

*Aspects of loneliness
In a dim light…
A journey seeking a life of meaning
In a dim light...
