The World is divided by Space Travelers & Time Travelers

There are people who grow by moving through space—traveling, relocating, trying new foods in new countries, drinking local wine or beer, learning new customs, maybe even picking up a language or two.

Then there are people who grow by moving through time. They stay rooted, watching the same streets evolve over decades, carrying the stories of their communities in their bones.

We romanticize one, and dismiss the other—depending on how far away it is. But the truth is, both hold wisdom. Both are necessary.

If all we ever do is wander, we risk becoming untethered.

If all we ever do is stay, we risk becoming closed off.

Together, we offer one another identity and expansion, resilience and rest.

Maybe the most radical thing we can do right now is build bridges between these ways of being.
