The Lover’s Bridge at Danshui Fisherman’s Wharf in Taipei. This bridge, a popular tourist destination in Taiwan, is a telling image that captures my journey to the land of my mother’s relatives.
It has been quite a while since I last wrote. Things in my life have been rapidly changing and I am only now finding the time to put pen to paper and share with you all my journey to Taiwan, the isla de Formosa. This trip was more of a pilgrimage than a journey. Traveling halfway around the world, I had this half-conceived idea of what life would be like on the other side. I carried with me the full hope that this trip, that finding my roots, would somehow help me find peace and, perhaps more importantly, find myself.
Stay tuned…
