Reflections

Here I am again, trying to sort out my experiences, what I saw, who I meant, and what I learned. For the first time in my life I was completely alone in a foreign country, armed only with English in a place where English is not spoken. I knew whatever happened I would have to deal with it myself, wondering if others would be able to understand this. They did, and it turned out that I was not alone, there were people I never meant before but knew I could depend on them and was glad to return the offer. People in general are good people, willing to help each other out, share each other’s experiences and pass on knowledge. They understand we are really the same on this planet, no better, no worse, and that it is not for us to judge. I think this is one of the reasons I was so quick to return to this land. It’s unfortunate that the general US population does not yet understand this concept and I fear they never will.
