Bringing Elegance to Complexity

Transitions are always interesting times. This month marks the start of a huge adventure for me - like most classical adventures, this one starts with a break from security.

Security comes in many forms: a home, a job, a spouse, friends, family, a country, a way of life. My life as it is now is full of security but adventures aren’t about security; they are about change. Internal change and external change.

So I have set the wheels in motion. I am leaving the certainty of my wonderful job and all my cool coworkers. I am parting from my Heart for this part of my adventure. I am parting from my good friends Jon, Jonathan and Emily. I am leaving my adopted home in the UK. I am leaving my chosen field and way of living. I am going on an Adventure.

I’m not leaving unprepared though it might seem that way. I have provided myself with all the wisdom and caring of my friends - both here and in Vancouver. I have the love of Elizabeth and Danielle to warm my heart. I have the support of a good family to offer advice and love. I have all the knowledge that I’ve collected and found. I have Bert and Christina as two fellow adventurers. And most importantly: I have faith in myself.

Like all good adventures, this one involves a journey. On April 28th, my Heart and I fly to Amsterdam to part ways for a bit. I shall return to the land of my birth to ready myself for the next leg of the journey. Somewhere off in the misty future lies my goal in Vietnam - but that is a story for another day.
