Returning

I'm coming back to myself. It's always a difficult transition for me to come back from a volunteer vacation. I return to a life that feels far less productive. I get frustrated with the materialism and greed around me. I long for the idyllic bubble that I lived in during the vacation. The time and space where I have the freedom to volunteer my labor to a pressing need.

But, alas, I have returned. It is life as usual here in Oklahoma. I am grateful for the freedom to go on these adventures. I am also grateful that I have a place to return to.
