Perhaps a sense of loss at coming home; leaving those you met behind? Is a difficult thing to get past: our inability to save everyone. You've done good; you will continue to; just let it happen.

I have been there also; however, for much shorter times,and much less involved; but, the people are so welcoming and genuinely warm that it saddens me to be here in Canada. For me the Phils truly are Paridise on earth. Although people here are warm, it is a gaurded warmth. Not so there. I miss life there. You have such an expressive way of expressing yourself, and drawing word images. You are gifted in many ways. God bless. Hopefully we'll both return.

Things have pretty much gone to hell in a handbasket politically, here, but I truly believe that it's important that you continue to push people here to recognize that there is much to be gained by supporting the dignity of human life all over the globe. The process here is slow, to be sure. But I see commercial sites supporting causes like yours increase in number consistently. Where there were no voices, now there are few. I believe that you can make a chorus of them, a strong one, but you must not give up. Onward. (Forgive the terrible music analogy.) :-) I have to disagree with one aspect for this post:

We can help by boycotting those mining companies and making the indigenous peoples situation known to a wider audience.

I'm hoping to start a movement in which words like him, himself, and his before gender neutral again to save us all the awkward his/her deal.
