Moving Again Time to Move

Well.. I think I have been averaging moving to varoius places about every two months since I have moved back to the Bay Area. In many ways, moving has taught me to be more versatile and to lead a simple life -- in the sense that I try not to carry around too much baggage.. in the literal sense that is. I also hope that I don't carry around too much emotional baggage either, if I can help it at all. But for some reason, this weekend seemed rather emotional to say the least.

I hope that after I move this time -- that it would be good for at least until the end of the year, but who knows eh? Moving the closet, the books, the clothes, the toiletries.. seems like I am going on a trip. Such as life I tell you, we are all kind of on this journey... Just passing through.

On another note:

This weekend I got an inside look at how the peoples from ChongShan, China talk and look like. I attended a "Chong Shan Family Association" dinner with my parents on Saturday and the whole time I was wondering, "What am I doing here?" But if you listen carefully to the performances, to the conversations at the dinner table, and observe the atmosphere, one could almost sense a place we call "Familiar". There is no doubt something very beautiful about what we call familiar.

Familiar can be a place we go to like our home, our bed, our favorite rest spot, but it can also be in the people. This organization that was established only about three years in the Bay Area cosponsored the event... and my father is a part of the Chong Shan students association. He has a lot of joy attending these type of functions. It has given a sense of belonging, a sense of history, and a sense of pride. I think these are all worthwhile things to be a part of, and I think in some ways people always search for more.

What are we searching for?

That is the question I leave this entry with because it is time to sign off.. Till next time friend.
I think I will write about love the next entry. A good friend asked me what I thought about romantic love.. and the thought really got me thinking.. how does one get there?
