white and blue plane

A little homesick and nervous about all the traveling that lay ahead, I was halfway into my summer vacation to the “other side” of the planet. I glanced out the window not too long after taking off from Zurich, and couldn’t help but feel peace after seeing the beautiful landscape - bold mountains sprinkled with snow, and the setting sun casting long shadows. This is all our planet, our home, I thought. I wasn’t homesick anymore. I was home.
