Not scared to the point of paralysis.
Not scared enough to run away. Not scared enough to stop trying to help. Not scared enough to think we're doomed. Just scared enough to feel worried for myself, my family, my friends, my community, my country, and my world. I was lucky when Hurricane Sandy hit. That night, the lights flickered a couple of times.

A friend of mine, that booked her trip in Cusco only a week beforehand, discovered it the hard way. My Experience Hiking the Inca Trail When I hiked the route a few years ago, the Peruvian government had not yet enforced the rules of no trekking independently.

I didn’t give a whole lot of thought to it until my ex-husband’s parents tried to get me to convert — how could I covert from a religion I didn’t really have? This question about identity resurfaced when I lived in Austria where Jews were such a — well, the word “novelty” is the best I can come up with. I had a very funny discussion once during my Deutsch fur Auslanders class with a Muslim classmate. “Lord, no,” I said, “I’m Jewish.”
“Oh, honey,” I said, “Don’t look at me like that. Most of the time it didn’t trouble me to be in a tiny minority. Instead, I emailed the nearest synagogues, one in Salzburg, one in Graz.
