Love this💕 It reminds me a bit of a quote I from Anthony Bourdain’s documentary, Roadrunner - musician Josh Homme says, “The bittersweet curse...Nothing feels better than going home, and nothing feels better than leaving home.”
Thank you for putting words to that homesick ache. "I felt that combined feeling of shalomsickness and deep contentment. My spirit was in a state of whiplash as I longed for both things, wanting to keep this moment and see what it would grow into." — yes, yes, yes. I feel that so much and so often.

So glad it resonated, Sarah. What a space to be in.
I am so glad I read this at this time. Feeling so much of what you shared, friend - the longing of home.
