still here

I'm still here.
sort of.
since the week after
my knee surgery
(for those of you who don't know,
I had ACL reconstruction surgery
the week after I returned from
Ethiopia)
i have been trying to put
together a really
meaningful
heart-felt
update.
my thoughts are not
cohesive
even to me
(many thanks to the
pain meds)
but I still have so many
wonderful stories
to share about my
journey.
but
for now just a few pictures
until i can shake the
cobwebs from my brain.






i know
with certainty that the
 tiny, rural villages
the people
and the relationships i developed
on this short
excursion
now have an
enormous 
distinct niche
 in my heart
and
in my life.

and i miss them all like crazy.







more to come, soon!
