utopia revisited

While I was doing Sidewalk Sonday School I was also in search of the perfect town. First I thought Claremont, SD was my Utopia. Then I thought it was Spearfish, SD, then Hot Springs and then I went to Holden Village and I liked that at first.....then there was Finland and Germany. Then I thought "Maybe Spokane..." But none of them are really Utopia.
And now I know. Utopia is really just the place I've left. Utopia is wherever I miss the most.
Home.
Ever since I committed to another year in Spokane I've been more homesick than ever.

Utopia is not just a location, it's a state of mind, albeit an elusive one. I ache for you; at the same time I'm glad I'll have you around for another year. Hopefully you'll be able to visit Utopia, both physically and mentally several times throughout this season.

wow, you thought that Hot Springs was a utopia? It was nice, but utopias have somewhere to get coffee for under $2.
