So I stand corrected: when looking up the word "abyss" in the dictionary you get-
" figurative the regions of hell conceived of as a bottomless pit : Satan's dark abyss.
• ( the abyss) figurative a catastrophic situation seen as likely to occur : teetering on the edge of the abyss of a total political wipeout. "
Well that's not what I was really going for, when I nominated the name "Into the Greek Abyss" for this blog I was interpreting it as a new place, exciting, a glorious expedition into a unknown territory..an adventure into an abyss!!
Now that that's settled.
It is the night before I leave and I am feeling emotions of excitement but also mixed feelings of nostalgia and anxiousness. I guess these are all normal things to feel when leaving your familiar home and community "bubble" where comfort is found. But with the anxious feelings I am also anticipating my adventure abroad. I know once all the goodbyes are said all the details of my new expedition will open my eyes to how lucky I am to be going to live, experience, eat, smell, see, hear all the sites of GREECE.

Wow, sounds so exciting! I love going to new places, and I am sure you will love it there, I can't wait to see more from your blog!
ReplyDeleteIt can also mean: anything profound, unfathomable, or infinite. You should go with the infinite possibilities awaiting you in Greece. Savor the journey.
