Two Worlds


Suddenly mouth is dumb; eyes
hurt, surprised it is we
who have changed...

                 To travel
is to return
to strangers.


—From Exile 
by Dennis Scott


I was glad to go home and 
I am glad to be home and 
I am glad I found no strangers.

    I think about how much less of a stranger I would probably feel in that world where you have just been than in the world where you live.
    Maybe not, though. Maybe not.

    So beautifully written, love the photos and your wonderful family web. Your words never fail to move me.
    Your daughter looks so much like your mother in the first picture and you, you have always been beautiful.

    Serenity or hustle & bustle... I love them both!
