Goodbye Devon, Goodbye England

My Spanish Diaries

My Spanish Diaries

299 views

In this video, I go for a walk and reflect on a strange and difficult chapter in my life.

At sixty, I am preparing to leave England and move to Spain after struggling to find somewhere affordable to live. As I try to make sense of this, I find myself thinking about old stories and ideas: Hansel and Gretel, the forest, leaving home, and what it means to live in the uncertain middle stage between one life and another.

I also talk about different ways of understanding change and transformation, including the ideas of Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung and Richard Rohr.

Perhaps some of you know what it feels like to be between two lives, searching for home, or wondering what comes next.
