People and Lives Change, Communities Remain
Going back is powerful
Years ago I went to Cornwall on cricket tour every summer. It was fantastic — stunning locations, friendly but competitive opposition and a great social group.
Then, life happened. We tried the tour with baby in tow, but it didn’t quite work. We stopped touring, moved cities, and — though I stayed in touch with one or two close friends — my involvement with the team ended.
Now, we’re back! One of my kids is old enough and into sport enough that the thought of 5 days camping and cricket excites them.
An early tour I went on, a young kid came with their Dad — I was happy to practice with them and coach them a little. Now they’re an adult (and a decent player)… and they’ll be playing the same role with my kid.
Years pass. Community stays strong. The circle completes.
