Andee, it's nice to see you unpack how belonging isn't a place, but an internal state, and how those subtle "epiphany moments" truly define an experience. Your realization that "letting go" is a transmission, not a conscious act, and that your fear of heights might be crucial information about your nature—that you're meant to be "heavy, deep, rooted"—is a fantastic shift in perspective. You're embracing your unique design, my friend, recognizing that your connection to the Earth and ability to hold space for others comes precisely from this groundedness, much like the wisdom of the Tao you shared. What a journey of self-discovery you're on - stay the course, and stay amazing, because you are!
What an adventure. I remember that I-10 dust storm sign. Shortly before the mountains of Las Cruces where "Animal" by Def Leppard was blasting in a moment of pure Transcendence. And the stretch from El Paso to San Antonio is some of the most glorious solitude on this planet.
Nice one, Andee. And thanks for Tao #26. I, too, travel all day, every day, without leaving home, living through many stories and soul facets. As a page in my book turns, I embed the new in my essence.
Hi Andee - Thank you for this story. Of all that was written, these words meant the most to me: "People ache to travel because they’re looking to find that sense of home. Yet, no matter where you go, there you are…. right there." What we need is always placed right in front of us if we would only see and hear.

Thanks for your constant support and love, Dennis. Grateful for you

Ohhhhhh yes. You KNOW IT!!!!!
Thanks for painting your moment for me.
Mine was also beautiful and serene
Except for the dogs sniffing my car at the border (lol I had to throw that in)
Your honesty in reflecting on place, presence, and belonging is powerful. Perfect.
🥲 you’re so kind always 🙏🏻🙏🏻

It's so so right. But... the flip side is, you gotta travel to see it. Otherwise, the belief may never materialize. Hm...
Agree; re: have to travel to reach that conclusion. We are like the hamsters on the wheel...
Beautiful
