Reflections on being in Africa

It feels early to be writing about this...... making sense of the internal journey of this trip, but it is impossible not to be impacted by this continent. Being in a country like Tanzania holds up a mirror of all that is right and all that is wrong in this world. It holds up a mirror to ourselves. We have such privilege in our lives. Astounding privilege. It is very humbling.

I just caught up with all the news from Africa. I love your blog, and I can't wait to read more about your adventures...my co-workers and I have especially enjoyed visualizing monkeys as north american pigeons and having to write one of your job descriptions as "responsible for sling-shooting monkeys with wine corks." Love you lots!
