Back home, the beginning of something new

From that day I started going back north from Banjul, I went with five taxis, three ferries, one truck and three buses to a little village outside Granada. I was going to the cave. Up I ran the mountains of Sierra Nevada to find her, alone. She had been waiting for me. I moved in. I made friends with a dog called Luna who moved to me. The view was so nice. But it was a bit lonely up there.

After about two weeks I left. I booked tickets with airplane to go home. The 19 of April I left the cave and my friends, Erik, Durita, Freya, Shaun, Csilla, Concho, Ossian, Anders, Lena and Luna. When I walked out in Sweden, it really felt like home. The smell, all the nature, the cold breeze.. Robert, my brother was waiting for me. We put the luggage in his car and then we drove closer to this journeys end. Suddenly, while looking at the trees, I realized how far I cycled. "I went on the bike, from here, and down there!". It was so beautiful. All those trees passing by the carwindow. I started thinking about the wind. She has helped me during all of this journey. Sometimes she pushed me in the Europe, sometimes not. But I she was never so concerned there, because help was close if i needed it.

But in the Sahara she was the one who helped me the most. Maybe the wind thought I couldn't do the desert. So she tested me for several days. The wind was so strong, it was cold and rainy. But I passed this test, and then she knew I could do it. And I deserved her pushing me forward in that waste landcape. Beacause the winds were with me since that day. Now I was going out of the car to were I started the 9 of May 2005. This was the 20 of April 2006. The wind was quiet now. As soon as I looked up I saw the eyes of my mother in the door of her house. I walked out on the street I've been playing since I was a kid. And I screamed. The wind helped me again, she took my scream out over all the places I've been, it told all the people I've met, and others I've seen, the scream was the one from me, Martin. And it told everyone I was home. Everything in the universe stopped, and became one. I've succeeded.
