Today is July 7, 2025—the 7/7 portal. I’m leaving Rome tomorrow morning.
My experience here has been deeply interesting, and I don’t say that lightly. I’ve come to realize something important during my time in this city: my ancestors met me here. They met me on this trip, just as they did two years ago as I traveled across the US and other countries for almost a year. But this time, I could hear them clearly.
