Cliffhanger....

As I sit here today and mourn the impending demise of summer, I realise that my incredibly long to-do list has gotten no shorter, but the amount of time in which to finish it is minuscule.

Among these things to do is up-date this blog. I left everyone hanging with promises of pictures and stories that are unfulfilled. I believe that upon my return from Nicaragua I was so overwhelmed with what we did, what we saw, what we experienced that I couldn't even face trying to put it in words. Nothing I said would make it seem real. Now, two months later, I miss it incredibly! There is a small yearning in the pit of my being clamoring for the color, scent and sound of a life so basic yet so vibrant and undeniably real. I truly believe that my experience in Nicaragua is shaping the path of my future and I owe all of you a big "Thank you!" for helping this happen.

First Friend

"When the Man waked up he said, 'What is Wild Dog doing here?' And the Woman said, 'His name is not Wild Dog anymore, but the First Friend, because he will be our friend for always and always and always.....'"
