You two have certainly been through a lot. I'm reading this as I wander (hello from Latvia) and contemplating whether it's really about affirming an identity so much as who I discover when I leave home. Thanks for giving me some food for thought. :) And I do hope you can get to Berlin soon.

He Meghan, Thanks for writing. I feel that desire for discovery when I'm wandering too, rather, here, the disappearance of a narrative so that I might be all of this that we find ourselves in. I'm thinking that it wasn't the wandering that makes the identity so much as using wandering to get something. Maybe being seen as one who adventures, travels, is known as _____. That's what I feel I needed to give up so that I wasn't so sad over being grounded at home, and how the heart attack became the retreat I was looking to change me.
