Back to the World by Gil Conradis
Title: Back to the World
Desc: When engaged in the minute by hour struggle, as warriors we dared not think about the “World” from where we came.
Later - much later, I came to realize the duress, the struggle for people left behind to carry on as normal, carrying that gnawing fear of imminent harm; parents, friends, girlfriends, wife's, children, husbands. Their sincere attempts at relating to a different person that may have come back whole or in-part, but not whole. This is my acknowledgement of that sacrifice given by circumstance and resulting in trepidation by those waiting. For all time.
