i will be torn. this is how i feel.

so, the time has come.  i have made my decision, for better or for worse.  i have decided to go.  next week, i will travel to the sinai and then to egypt to see the sites.  afterwards, i will be flying to europe to visit some friends.  finally, if i don’t change my mind, i will return to the states.

every time i come here, this place feels more like home and subsequently it becomes more and more difficult to leave.  every time i leave, it feels as if a part of me has been torn off. 

but, i look forward to seeing friends and family, to sharing pictures and stories, and to those green appalachian mountains that entertain so much of my imagination. 

it is always painful to say goodbye, but i am thankful for it.

there is something magical about this land.  it has a hold on me. 

then again, maybe it is just the hummous.
