As my time in China draws to a close, I had planned to put together a final thoughts video.

It was intended to be a simple reflection on the highs and lows of the past six months, of which there have been many.

However, as I sat down to write that video, the words and stories seemed reluctant to appear. This was strange for me, as I don’t usually find writing particularly difficult. Yet there I was, staring at a blinking cursor on an empty screen, as if it were trying to communicate some divine answer.

This struggle continued longer than I would like to admit until I finally surrendered. I closed my computer and went to the park to practice Tai Chi 13, a form I have recently learned.

As the steps and postures flowed, a small realization washed over me: I couldn't write the script once titled Final Thoughts simply because this adventure was far from over.
