BEGIN PART TWO
As I write this, two minutes after finishing "PART ONE", dogs are howling, the temperature is letting up, and general silence has prevailed - internally. I still think heavy thoughts, but I can easily dilute them with bright promises of a wonderful year ahead. On Sunday, I welcome a new volunteer in town. I will do the same in a nearby town, then head to Maputo to go to Portugal so I can pass Christmas with Eric. Then, soon after, I will start to plan the second school year, and I will discover much about this world that I thought I'd cornered and figured out.
Bring it on.
Peace
John
