On going away

"When in the end, the day came on which I was going away, I learned the strange learning that things can happen which we ourselves cannot possibly imagine, either beforehand, or at the time when they are taking place, or afterwards when we look back on them." 
 – Karen Blixen, Out of Africa, 1937

 -- Once I have returned home, and settled back into a familiar routine, will I look back on this past year, and wonder if it was all a dream ? --
