Never fear Home is RIGHT HERE. ever where i turn i see a bastardized version of home, of the familiar and of america, staring back at me through foreign eyes. it is almost home which is maybe what is so disorienting about it. it is not home... it is not even the familiar, but it feels like it, or it is perceived as such. it is virtual home... it is virtually home with a few important changes... and a total loss of self.
it is helpful to see american culture through the lens of a foreign reality. there is no veil of disillusion left when you are looking at it bare and unabashedly displayed. blatant. maybe these are the eyes i should be seeing through all the time. but the locals cant see it the way, it is a foreigners view. it has to be.
God bless America.
