two more days in the village. hard to believe, isn't it? i have absolutely no clue where the last year of my life has gone. i don't know how long it will be before i can accurately articulate what i've gained from being here, however something that is already apparent to me is a newfound hope in the world... kind of a new appreciation towards idealism and optimism. in the village i've seen hope in a world where it is too easy to see despair. i have encountered love in a society where loneliness is widespread. i have witnessed creation amongst destruction.
in leaving i have discovered something that i absolutely didn't expect. my departure provides a great opportunity for friends, acquaintances, fellow coworkers, and villagers alike to share with me thoughts, perceptions, gratitude, etc. that probably would have stayed under wraps if i was staying here. it has been the ultimate gift and an eye-opener.
