Too Huge World

Welcome

What is that feeling when you’re driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? – it’s the too-huge world vaulting us, and it’s good-by. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.
- Jack Kerouac, “On the Road”

 

As I head into life in the Sudan, I resonate with Kerouac; this world, so often labeled “small”, seems very large indeed. Friendships, communities, and experiences dispersing – but not lost.
