I have just a little over a week left here in Calgary. Soon I will be heading back to Newfoundland either to begin my fieldwork or to find some other purpose for my life. Calgary has in some ways been home since 2000. I thought I would be leaving, shaking the dust off my boots but as the day approaches I find that I am becoming more reflective not about the place but about some of the people. I have many friends here and some of them hold a very special place in my heart. I won't get to say goodbye to most of them and that I regret because they have touched me in ways that cannot be easily expressed.
I can only hope that they know I carry them in my heart wherever I go and believe that I cherish the time we had together.
But the road winds on ahead and calls me away. I am the gypsy boy chasing the will-0-wisp and I cannot bide but I will always dream of the times that were and the times that might have been. A blessing on you all my friends.
