Today...

Today I put shoes on my feet, last week I wore work boots. Today I applied makeup to my face, last week I applied sunscreen. Today I wore a light jacket, last week I wore a coat of sweat. Today I drank water from a faucet, last week I had to drink from a bottle. Today I drove my own car to work (on the right side of the road), last week I rode on the floor of a full maxi (on the left side of the road). Today I put my clothes in a washing machine, last week I washed them by hand. Today I put my clothes in a dryer, last week they semi-dried in the humid air by hanging on a line. Today I am the same person I was just one week ago, and yet I am completely different. I am forever changed. My heart is forever softened. I will forever have the memories of an incredible experience ingrained in my heart and in my mind.
