I'm back

Michael and I have been in Canada riding around Lake Superior for the past 2 weeks and had an incredible time. I love going out of the country and getting a taste of what it is like to be the outsider. We take so much for granted in this country and I know that I have a tendency to believe that the rest of the world revolves around us. It is good to be reminded that other countries have just as much pride and just as much value as our own. In Unity we teach that we are all one. The only way we knew we were crossing into Canada was by the guard houses at the border where they were checking passports. An imaginary line separated us from the Canadians. I have to look at all of the other imaginary lines that I have created in my life to separate me from others making them the outsider. Going out of the country reminds me to pay attention to where I have drawn the lines and separated myself so I can erase those lines between me and another.
