I've returned home to Chicago safe and sound -- and early!? Thank you, all, for the supportive & thoughtful comments. I've greatly appreciated it.
Please continue to check ZimBlog over the coming days & weeks as I'll be uploading pictures & videos of the Caravan -- this time with captions & comments. With the extremely limited internet access & slow connections, I just wasn't able to do so. But now I'll be able to do so with faster internet.
As expected, the re-entry will indeed be challenging. This afternoon after returning home, I went to pick up a few needed items at Target. As I stood in the dairy aisle deciding which brand of milk to get, tears began to run down my face. Here I stood in this big box store with SO many options to choose from while so many people I met over the past two weeks would be extremely grateful to have the luxury to have a choice of food. Stores we went into were filled with barren shelves. Restaurants had limited food. And here we have aisles upon aisles.
How to make sense of this? How do we live in a world with such inequity?

Welcome home Greg!
ReplyDeleteAnd "welcome back?" to the land of condradictions and ambiguity where hunger is an unecessary global issue including this land of big box deep discout stores.
I usually end with blessings and peace but as I vision you crying in the milk aisle I can only say.
Comfort and Strength,
