I know I am not alone in this neglected by many world. I call it A New World because it is new to me and many others like me. It is a world where there is no gravity, a world where one feels comfortable among foreign and foreign amongst its own. I am an immigrant. I came to the USA many years ago not knowing what is awaiting for me. The interesting part is that I thought that once I step foot in this country and see it with my own eyes I'll know where I am and fit right in. Little that I knew. After all these years I realize that takes one step at a time and one touch at a time and one thought at a time to know where I am. Just like a blind man. Am I ever going to get and feel the whole picture? I don't know.
People ask me all the time about how do I feel in America. Well, sometimes my answer is, I feel like a flower that was cut of its own root and put in a vase and kept alive with foreign nutrients. Sometimes my answer is, I feel as if I am floating between two worlds (like an astronaut in out of space) and neither ones gravity is strong enough to pull me in. I wonder if anyone else felt like me?
Some days are harder than others. I take it a day at a time. I think that all I can do is learn how to "float" safely between the two worlds escaping the deadly meteors.
