THIS lovely reflection from Monte Smith (Paracollege, 2000) about coming "home" from Hong Kong and how she feels about being here while also not being there. She reminds me that our happy encouragement of global perspective is only part of the story. Opening one's heart up to the world includes being open to its sorrows and to the smaller sadness of always being divided between where one is and the place and people who are elsewhere.
