284 day of the project,
San Francisco, California
"We shall not cease from our exploration
and at the end of all our exploring
will be to arrive where we started
and to know the place for the first time.”
- T.S. Eliot
I have always loved this passage from "Little Giddings.” It alludes to the resolution of an expedition, whether it is a literal or metaphoric journey. The resolution of the 30th Year Project gave new meaning to those words. Indeed, I see my community—global, local, familial and by extension, myself--through new eyes. On the eve of my 31st birthday, I am reflecting on the experiences that will influence me for the rest of my life.
