Day 1: A New Place

What if every place offers

A set of challenges

And a set of comforts

And what is absent in one

May be present in the next

And what is present in one

May be absent in the next?

Then while different places may contrast each other

Doling out evaluations

Would be more complex than it feels

Once everything is taken into account.

And what if every place offers

An invitation to newness:

To be oneself in a new way;

To remake oneself again?

Then one could see just what

Each new place

May bring out in oneself.

But to withhold judgement:

This is a challenge.
