This week reminded me how deeply place and memory intertwine. In moments of quiet reflection, I found myself revisiting the emotional space of living abroad.
I also had the honor of joining a bell-ringing ceremony marking eighty years of peace between Japan and the United States, my former and current homes. It was a moving experience, and I’ll be sharing more about it in my next Mindful Monday article.
And in a delightful twist, even an action movie this week revealed unexpected cultural connections: between Japanese trains and an American bus!
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and stories, especially if you’ve ever felt “in between” while living abroad.
