She is NOT all set or registered on the road, but she is coming home for now,
Clint was kind enough to come with and help me with everything to bring her home today. I cannot thank him enough to be honest… forever in his debt. We collected the trailer and headed into town to the compliance company to collect her. There was a small hiccup here and there but nothing we couldn’t take care of and soon she was loaded. We strapped her down (<- with straps I collected from the moving company that cleared the container) to make sure she is not going anywhere while we take her home. I was up at 4am this morning and after not being able to fall back to sleep I did a long mediation… everything feels so right in my life at the moment… I almost cannot believe my “luck”. Am I creating this? Am I creating my future? I am feeling really empowered at the moment.
The photographs are all compliments of Clint… I was too focused on the task at hand. It felt surreal driving her home, like the day my dad and I drove her to Cape Town to be loaded in the container. (<-Just in reverse) Wow, how did I get here, this place in time with all of this happening? Am I dreaming? Clint and I offloaded her in the street and I couldn’t resist driving her up and down the street quickly to just show her her new home before parking her in the garage. She has no “plates” so I don’t want the cops to see me.
So many emotions… so many feelings. Gratitude, being privileged, loved… I am calling her “Ceres” reminding me of my hometown in RSA where I grew up, where my mom and dad still live and where she spent most of the first ~52 years of her life. Starting her journey in Australia going to RSA she never ever thought she would “return” to this side of the world in New Zealand. I saw this picture below so many times during my meditations and today it is real. Poof! Words cannot begin to describe how I feel. Is this for real? Can it be this good? Thanks mom and dad. Thank you very much for everything – that got me to this point in my insignificant life.

The face and expression in the window of Ceres says it all.
Yep, was a pretty special day if I had to be honest. Thanks for capturing it.
