Leaving Delhi

We're gone - not in Delhi any longer.  It is disorienting to know that we do not belong there now.  I am trying to imagine what the people who were so central to our lives will think as the days go by and we do not appear.  It felt awful to be ripped away, to be doing the ripping, to disrupt lives and patterns.  It's not that I think we were important just because we are who we were but because we were part of others' lives, economically, physically, emotionally.  We will survive somehow .. sadder, older, and richer from the lives that melded with us.  Farewell Delhi - we have left a piece of ourselves.
