Autumn

Well, here I am back in Vermont. It was so good to be back.

It was quite a trip back, my flight from Houston to NYC was delayed by two hours, and my layover was exactly two hours, but after a SPRINT between terminals (yes, I switched airlines) I made it my flight and made it Burlington.

Leaving the airport in the car with my husband, I couldn't believe how empty the roads were. And there were just so many trees! It was heaven to be home.

Months later, the most coherent sentence I have written about China is this:

China is crazy and overwhelming and exciting and tragic and comical and frustrating and fascinating and beautiful and strange, all at once.

And that's about as far as I've gotten. It's still a lot to process.

Autumn is here, and with change sweeping around me, I feel ready to be on the move again.
