This Time and This Place

Before I describe what the world has shown me during my transit home, you should read the story about the Khmer Rouge by clicking here. There are 5 pages to go through and once you read it, then I'll be sending my thoughts and pictures in my next blog.
There is something so unique about Cambodia and everyday I've been asked, "How was your trip?" My only fair response is, "Cambodia was an experience." Those who are genuinely interested, will listen to the honesty, those who aren't, say, "but, you had a good time, righ?"
Yes, I had a good time. I liked it there better than here. However, I sometimes feel like I'm talking to myself and that no one can really hear my answer. As humans, we choose what we want to hear...even if the information is so real and true. I have learned not to pass judgment on myself or on anyone. We all have a background, a story, an experience and for some, more than others. In our present time, in the moment of now, we are who we are. It is as it is. We are always growing, the key is to be aware - to be intuitive to yourself and your needs, to others and their needs, and to the needs for a global community.
Peace

hmmmmm... ya... global community... there are some folks who don't see it as such. I know what you mean about talking to people who are genuinely interested in what you experienced. It is as it is. Those are words I've come to live by lately... some beautiful soul shared them with me...

*muah*
