I will be going back to my second home tomorrow. With some regret I will
be saying “see you later Gdansk ”. A lot has
happened in Gdansk for me. Good,
fantastic, uplifting, bad and sad. This year it has been more good than during
my last stays here. I have been able to reflect on what next and even if I do
not have all the answers I feel that I have made progress. My proverbial “how
to live prime minister?” has some answers now.
I have done a lot of flaneuring in Gdansk and I discovered a
lot of beauty in the old streets, old parks, coffee places and European lash nature.
I am aware that I lived through the summer best. The doom is just around the
corner and I am flying away to my warm count
My favourite park |

But I can go to a place of an old beauty and sit there for hours with a book, notebook or a computer. They usually even have a wi fi. Nobody comes to indicate that my time in the place is up. Such is the case in
I will be missing all that.
I have been in Sydney three days already and I feel again at home here. The memories of Gdansk linger on and I think I am still in transition between my two homes.
ReplyDeleteI am writing this comment to check out if it will appear on the blog as I have been told that some of placed comments disappeared.
Let me try now. What I wanted to say was simply that I can relate to the emotions that leaving an ex place of residence to the current permanent address evoke. It happens to me whenever I go to Chennai where most of my family and friends live and return to Pune where the only family I have is my son and daughter in law.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that it is working now.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a bit strange. I look for things that are in Gdansk sometimes and then I remember - not the right home! Automatic pilot is not working very well yet. It is fun though.
