An Inspired Son


Just over a month ago, an amazing adventure began. My parents, George and Lesley Birk took serious inventory of their lives and their belongings. They divested themselves of the superfluous and embarked on a journey of discovery and exploration. Selling their home in Perth, they downsized their personal square footage and welcomed the Australian landscape as their backyard. They bought for themselves a home on wheels and now have a very simple fixed address: "On the road, somewhere in Australia." I am truly inspired by their creativity and courageousness to never relax into life and passively let the years pass. This is real living - constantly challenging yourself to invent and design experiences that bring lessons and deeper, more powerful engagement in life.
May they be blessed with many more healthy years together. May the road always open up to new and exciting places. May the weather be kind to them and may their wheels be constantly turning. Much love!
