First of Many Thoughts Upon Returning...

There have been many times in the four months since I have been home where I have wanted to blog an update. Truthfully, the length of time that has passed has allowed my feelings and experiences to steep. I do not know if my thoughts about past, current and future states and implications of Cambodia are completely in harmony yet. In fact, I have come to understand one thought that may be consistent throughout my life.

That is one truth about humanity; the violence and pain that occurs in humanity is perhaps the deepest pain of circular and polar connection we will always feel between each other. What seems like a simple reality, really is the foundation which form the human experience. This, understanding and fear of pain and violence fact is catalyst for change in all forms. Whether progression or suppression, devolution or corruption, peace, war, love..We are all fearful humans, but the foundation of our fear is woven from the same internal parts.

My time home has evolved with difficulty and beauty. More to come...
