I am sitting at a bus stop, in the dark, in New Zealand right now.

I’m not waiting for the bus though.

I am walking.

Recently, I asked people on social media about their favorite places in the world to unwind?

This is mine.

Not the bus stop.

I love to move.

I love to wander without roots.

I love to be everywhere and I long to be nowhere.

I feel drawn to explore the world.

But I am a parent, a father, and the kids need me to be their anchor, and so I remain.

In one place.

A constant for them.

A rock of certainty.

But oh, how I still long to wander.
