Its in the moments where I'm alone in the quiet that the gnawing, pulling ache sets in. That desire to be far away. In all the chaos that was India, there was some strange quiet and peace to my life there... a peace and rest that I can't remember experiencing in my childhood, and most certainly haven't obtained in medical school. When the world is swirling around me and people are everywhere and I'm constantly having to be "on", I'm fully engaged in my life here.
But it's nights like tonight, where it's just me, that I crave that home. That little room that I shared with two dear friends on that campus that always felt safe, in that city that was busy in a way in which no one was really in a hurry to get anywhere.
