Familiarity in a Far Away Place

6th day in Boston. I finally felt I miss something - the sense of familiarity.

I remember being in Wuhan and was very happy when I saw McDonald's. Its everywhere in Boston. Doesn't make a difference.

Later in the day, I decided to go swimming. According to Google maps and Watertown Department of Recreation and Conservation, there is a public swimming pool 15min walk away. I packed everything, and went to search for this mysterious place.

After 23 minutes, I reached. And of all the things I forgot to bring, it was my swimming suit. Darn. Ultimate blurness.

I decided then to walk back home without exercising. There was a river nearby, ducks and other animals enjoying themselves. And it dawned upon me. God was giving me a sense of familiarity. His creation is his wonderful work. And I am familiar with his creation. Not to mention His love.

What a wonderful gift on Sabbath. :)
