killing fields
we went to the killing fields of pol pot's genocidal regime. can't really describe it well yet. it is hard to be concise about something so unfathomable. how does one articulate feelings and images of complete horror. the unimaginable became very very real and that seems impossible to describe. we saw pictures of the faces of almost 10,000 prisoners who were executed under pol pot. each face makes a statement. their eyes have so many messages. the common factor: recognition that this is their last photo.
i'll post more after i look at my notes again but not ready for that yet.
hope all is well at home.
love,
s

Sarah, Sounds like your having a real rough time with the realities around the world and how lucky we have been here in the US and in the era we live in.
I hope you learn to not be so sad and take what you have learned and teach those of us who have been living in the dark
All my Love
Man's inhumanity to man, age-old issue, delivered fresh and horribly to the traveller's eyeballs. We are an ugly species, though different from many others only in the ambitions and scale of our atrocities. It will no more be tragedy when we are gone than when the dinosaurs disappeared. Are cockroaches any worse? Good thing you guys are seeing uplift, shining lights, to perhaps put the brakes on a nihilism skid.
