What a wonderful experience you and L and A have had, together with your many friends in Stellae Boreales. I have enjoyed reading of your appreciation of the history, geography and culture of the places you have visited, but also of the cultural interactions with your hosts and audiences.

At the risk of sounding patronising, it has been my wonderful privilege to be a guest in many places where my language is not commonly spoken, yet where hosts have taken great initiatives to bridge the language gap and to ensure my comfort and enjoyment. I sense that you have experienced something of the same and that your gift of music and its appreciation has been a wonderful bridge.

But there is one more part of the journey, at least, still to be written – “Arriving Home.” I look forward to reading that chapter and any further reflections you may have upon the journey, even of ways in which it may shape or change your lives.
