Some Reflective Musings

I do plan on adding some entries about August as well as my trip home and recovering from leptospirosis. However, for now, after spending 3 weeks at home, here are some reflective musings:

Life on the other side of such a trip can be difficult. How does one marry the experiences gained, the friendships fostered and the change of thinking with the sameness of home, the relationships picked up and the mundane stresses of one's old life? And this challenge must be faced alone without anything really tangible from the trip and with the impossibility of expressing to those on this side how one has changed. And now the effort of choosing how one is going to respond, if there is going to be a change in how they live their life or if it will all simply be forgotten in the sameness of how things were before.
