Trying to process

[smellypurse]

It's the middle of the night. But I love being awake at night. I've been talking on the "phone" and slowly processing out loud with various friends and family. I don't know why I'm having such a difficult time processing Africa- but there it is...I just don't know what to say and even the distance isn't helping. I'm finding pictures help alot. If

In sunsets, in cups of coffee?

Shall we have coffee when you get back? I am so anxious to hear everything.

i was right that night when i said that you were the perfect woman for me. all these thoughts resonate so strongly. i see you doing things in the world that are impactful- and not in the way that everything is impactful, just because everything has an impact it does not therefore mean that everything is impactful. you are doing good work and that work is impacting those around you.

i love these entries especially because it is SO hard to be truly real about situations abroad. people have this view of those of us who "do good work", you dont have to be a saint, and in fact it is less likely that you will stick with it if you are trying to be a saint. wrestling with what is hard is what is going to allow you to clear room in your heart for more beautiful experiences. and i do not doubt that you have room enough already for this lifetime.

SO anyways, could you tell me more about the logistic of going to africa and now asia? could you tell me about the people you stayed with? family or friends/.?
