I sat down tonight to write about Africa... but I can't do it. Not yet. In my mind I'm still processing the trip, even after a week of being back. The thoughts. The memories. The emotions.
Mostly, the emotions. To put it lightly, everyone came back a changed person--emotionally, mentally, spiritually. I wish I could find the right words to allow you to feel the things we're feeling, the experiences we had, the kindness we felt.
Sadly, I don't think there will ever be enough words.
In time, I'll write about my experience, what I did, where I went, what I saw. Just not tonight.
I don't think I'll ever be able to accurately capture how I felt or how I feel now.
Instead, I'll be alone with my thoughts tonight, and fall asleep to the beauty that is South Africa.
I really, truly miss it.

So true. So much to internalize and then let bloom. At night I dream of the children. Still.
You searching for the words, speaks volumes.
Yeah... I felt like a week was a long time for me to post anything. I even wanted to post the first day we were there, but I was at a loss of what to say.
It's good to hear that it bothers you this much because it shows that you care. :o)
