This second skin, my new life...
because it's more than just a trip.
And I truly believe that.
(We'll have to see how coming 'back' feels.)
But for the few moments of everyday
when I'm not immersed in Spanish,
I realize that I'm immersed in english.
I can communicate obscure ideas.
I know idioms and allegories and puns.
More than understanding every verb tense,
and I have more than a working vocabulary.
It amazes me.
They say the last thing a fish will discover is water.
But I jumped out of the tank and it's more obvious than ever.
