"And here might be the place to squirt one perfect tear, all bittersweet and shimmering with dreamy resignation."
~ Tom Robbins ~
A home holds memories, and leaving it when it's time to move on is a clean slate, but also a lump in the throat and a pit in the belly, especially when the home has been a good one, and the memories rich and vast and full of soul. And though we may carry them with us in a way- in our blood - there is still the energy of place and space that we leave- the walls and windows; the angle of light and the sweet mountain views.
I honor the sadness I feel when it's time to move on from something I have loved.
