The time has come to return back to the grind in the USA. My time in Nepal has been short in someways and long in others. Being here for a couple weeks this year compared to a couple of months last year made it all feel so rushed. Nepal is such an amazing place and I would love to be able to spend much more time here.
On the other hand several of my friends in Nepal commented that I seemed different this trip. Not as relaxed, more anxious and not as at home as I was last year. And I think they are probably right. I have been feeling this incessant restlessness over the past six months. I have thought a lot about a change of scenery in my life. Maybe moving out of state, maybe out of the country, I don't know. I am not even sure what the genesis of the restlessness is....I thought that returning to Nepal would help define it or maybe cure it...but I felt it as strong in Nepal as I have been at home. I think that is what my friends were picking up on. As excited as I was to be in Nepal, I was feeling ready to move one. I will always return to Nepal. It is my home away from home and the place where I can always readjust my compass.
The next two days will be spent saying goodbyes that come just days after saying hello. I have not even left yet and I am already looking forward to my return...when ever that might be.
