Slowly

Beginning to find the words again. 

Slowly.

The re-entry has been difficult.  Reverse culture shock.  How to live in a society that has so much and yet, ungratefully so?  So bitter.  So hostile.  So cold and calloused. 

Such disconnect.  Two worlds.  One people.  One people?

Thank you for the phone calls and emails.  I've not yet returned many (most).  I will.  In time. 
Trying to process.  So much to process.  All I've seen.  All I've experienced.  All I met.  All who've embraced me as brother, friend while yet a stranger.  In a foreign land. 

Such Dichotomy.

How?  WHY? 

WHY?!? 

Trying to find the words. 

Trying to make sense. 

Slowly. 

In Time.
