Entering a Society

My head is spinning after this week... Actually, it is just beginning again here. I got acquainted today with the Saturday workday, something quite normal here but incredibly foreign to me until now. I guess I did get a nice Friday weekend though. Anyway, this last week has been a series of meetings with various people around the community. References from references, all giving us their perspectives on the way things go around Oman. It's been incredibly revealing.

I'm starting to feel like I'm being pulled in to a society. The people with the experience and insight open up the perspectives that have taken them a few years or more to build for themselves. And now different people are starting to ask what we can do for them. It's an interesting feeling that suddenly overcomes me as I begin to realize more and more the implications of what I'm doing on a system that has been developing itself for centuries. I can't help but to give myself pause as I enter this next phase of my journey.
