I have been in Calgary a week and there have been moments that I felt like I had never left. Today was not one of them. Today was filled with the surreal understanding of how my life has changed.
Today I am living with my friend Margo who encouraged me to pursue an academic career. She also help direct my former partner Fiona into her first academic position at the University of Calgary. Now I am there and there is a possibility that I may get to teach a course this semester. Fiona has quit the university, telling a mutual friend that she was too apprehensive about me being there.
Today I went to brunch with Dylan and his father Randall. We dropped Dylan back home - the place I used to live. Fiona has asked me to stay away from there. No problem since Randall and Dylan are moving into a new place next month. Last connection severed.
Today my new life emerged intact from the ashes of the old.
