Something has changed within me...

  

I think it is time to face yourself again.
Then again, it is always time.

This all started in Stuttgart.  We arrived in April, hungry, tired, and grossed out at the fact that we were staying in a place that more resembled Hamilton, Ontario than any Google image of Germany we’d ever seen.  We were disenchanted and, as with any good disenchantment, I was starting to think of the cold, the dark, the dank: the underbelly of my social conscience.  Thankfully, the weather was nice, but Aleisha had just cracked her adult camera, every “authentic” restaurant in the area was closed, and one of us was going to have to sleep on a cot.  It wasn’t exactly ideal.  I started to brood. 

            Kat showed me this article that really alerted me to the emergency situation that was my life.  It shook my existence. It changed something inside me.
