Travel Weary

Here I am.  Sitting at Gate 75 of Liberty International Airport in Newark, New Jersey.  And I am so tired.  My head hurts.  My eyes hurt.  My knees hurt.  And of course my bottom hurts from so much sitting.  I am surrounded by strangers and unfamiliar faces.  Alone in a sea of humanity.  I feel rumpled and sweaty and stained and it seems that at last my body feels just like my heart....ever so weary....and yet the journey has just begun.
