Evolution is a very interesting thing. The way I see God manifesting and appearing to me, the change in my thoughts, my feelings, my life is stunningly extraordinary. My ability to constantly make little mistakes, to fall, fumble, forget the lot...Humanity is such a gloriously flawed instrument. It's nothing short of miraculous that music still gets made through it.



I had a brilliant time over break. Fulfilled a dream by seeing a ballet at the Sydney Opera House, but preferred "We Unfold" at the Syd Theatre by far. Remembered what dance is supposed to look like, saw people with it stuck in their muscles and souls. Watched them release it, let it go from the prisons of their eyes, and legs and hands. The light associated with that.



Loved up on some couch-surfing... Adrienne! Oh Adrienne, and Bee's Knees and great discussions. Forgetting the difficultes and confusion in light of finding best friends or close friends suddenly, an ocean away. The beauty of that exercise. I love couch-surfing although my risk of getting a murder/rapist host/hostess increases with each experience. God has been good and the people have reminded me what it is like to love without constant frickin fear.

What else?

Otago (the Rail Trail we did) was the wonderful part. The life changing aspect.



There aren't really words for it. Just bonding, exploring an discovering more about JT and he about me. Exhaustion. Appreciation. Sunsets and rises. Rolling hills. Seas of grass. Rivers of popplers. The sun changing every moment, reflecting a new light or a new colour. Highlighting a beauty that may have previously gone unnoticed.



Staying with the Ray's in Dunedin and being overwhelmed with hospitality and openness. Hanging out with seals, the blues of the beach and the softness of the sand worn to smoothness of how many million years?

It was all an experience. A beautiful, delightful journey, more than I deserve!

And now, preparing for the next journey. Hoping for the openness and humility and grace to be able to make my experience in Kenya (I got the Richter!) a good one.

Life is changing. Evolving, in fact, as I said before.

I graduate next year -- after a year of all this... Wow.

Well.

That's that.

Also, I am considering posting my Richter Application to aid anyone who applies in the future as a reference/anyone who's interested in what I will be studying this summer.

Any thoughts?

Allrighty.

Alllovey,
