I guess all I can say is that I have allowed myself to merge back on over into the passing lane "that is" America. How and why I allow myself to fall back into the rat race here is probably a good topic for another discussion. It's been 3 months since my last post. Despite coming back to this blog every so often, wondering what I could write about, nothing was there. No urge to write. Empty thoughts. Numb? I know that I haven't really given myself time to be quiet and think this summer, or to reflect on my time in Namibia. In fact, it was just now that I realized it was seven months ago today that I had my layover in Johannesburg and it will be seven months tomorrow that I arrived in back in Namibia. Interesting timing...no? I also received this picture today. It is a picture I have been hoping that I would get to see. As you may be able to tell, it's Chandre, Memory, and Maderyna. It was taken by Amanda Lafave when she was in Arandis this past July. Thank you Amanda! Jackie Livsey sent it to me. Thanks Jackie! Jackie also got to go back to Namibia this year, this time with her two daughters. If I can scrounge up some photo links, I'll post them here. I've included the link to Amanda's blog. It's well worth the read. Amanda, great song! I've printed it out and I think it might help the numbness wear off :-) So perhaps with the coming together of all of things Namibian today, who knows what will happen. I may even post again before the next three months go by... |
