I feel i have done a disservice by not blogging as frequently as i once thought i would. In this moment my mind is going 100 miles an hour. Ahh.. So much to say. Yet my fingers won't type fast enough. My sentances will lack cohesion. So what follows will be a series of odd ramblings. Ramblings of a mind that is out of sorts.
- I just finised licking about 35 envelopes. On each envelope was three stamps. In each envelope was another envelope with 3 stamps and a letter/survey. And now i've just said envelope too many times. Kenya doesn't have adhesive stamps. You do the math..
- My head has been staring at this computer way to long. I feel like i'm going bug eyed. Whatever that means.
- I've been concentrating on this database of contacts. Organzing a book of pledges. You know how in the dutch world there are so many people with last names that start with V. Well in the Kenyan world so many people have last names that start with M, N and K. Ndegwa, Mwaura, Kuraki, Kithara etc. And can you tell me what is the first name here Diba Waqo?
- I have at least 10 messages in my mail box from people responding to my survey about Care of Creation Kenya. Some are a paragraph, some are a page and the rest really fall in between. Some are beautifully written. Most of them are written in broken english which oddly enough make them real and beautiful. I can't explain it. Perhaps i will post an example.
- I'm falling hopelessly in love. In love with what it means to be a Christian passionate about being a steward of Creation.
- I feel like i'm on a journey. A journey of understanding. Understanding so much of everything. I 'm not sure how to explain that.
- I haven't mentioned a lot about work and what that all entails. I will try to fill in some of the blanks.
- Care of Creation Kenya is made up of a number of wonderful people. Craig, Tracy, Francis and Patrick. I will try to introduce you to them in the coming day's, weeks, months.
That feels better, I think i can sleep now. This weekend i have another interview and we are planting trees! Wonderful! Until later.
