Coming Full Circle



Yesterday I traveled back to Long Island, NY. It was not that this visit was one out of my yearly visits back east, but this time I was with a very special person and we purposely stopped by my old house and our high school. Mostly it was an instrumental moment in that it brought back a flood of emotions, and too the things that occurred in that house at 180 Warner Road happened to change the direction of my life up to this very moment. There is a very large gap in the one year that followed my family's move to Elmont, and regardless of how much brain picking I do, that period of time just won't materialize for me. Needless to say, just being able to stand in front of my old house brought a sense of satisfaction and calm to years of unanswered questions. I questioned, how many of us are fortunate to have an opportunity to go back to a previous time in our past and then today stand present and experience that we have come full circle?
