This morning, even though it is July, I woke up a bit chilled. The sky was cloudy and the air fresh. I had a strange feeling. I hope it won't be so chilly when I wake up in NZ, I thought. I reached out for Elena and touched her, seeking the reassurance of her warmth and her presence in a possibly cool new world.
How strange our inner movements can be: yesterday the joy of a notice I was desperately longing for, and today, my mind intimidated by the anticipation of this new lease of life in a scarcely known world. Will we be fit enough to adapt to this new environment? Personally? Professionally?
The reaction of the children yesterday had been of the same kind: their silence, their looking away, and our daughter Clara, who was most delighted at the beginning of our plans, refusing to drink to the „good news“.
