Back Early and Falling Silent   

posted by Sara @ 4:18 PM

"The art of living...is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other.  It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive." -AlanWatts

A little over a month ago I decided to leave South Korea four months early. I simply came to the realization that I was no longer where I was supposed to be, and it was my time to go.  I am now back in the states, living on the east coast with my boyfriend, Mike. In some ways it seems as t
hough I never left, only my friends have better apartments, and I am without a car. 

Of course I'm still on the lookout for my next great adventure. Only now I have someone to drag with me (I mean share it with), instead of always trying to conquer the world on my own. 

In the spirit of the writer's strike that is still continuing, I will now fall silent and leave you with images of my last eight months.
