Thinking

I am sitting here in the student center.
Alone.
Listening to a video I took.
At the beach in Dakar.
The sound of the waves.
The voices of my friends.
All of whom are now far away.

My mind is scattered with thoughts.
Pulling me many different ways.

Leaving.
Those I have left.
Hopes.
Places I love.
Future plans.
Friends.
The beach.
My hopeful future dog.
Frustrations.
Life here in Cola.

Life is funny.
This town is making me crazy.

  • Funny indeed...your verse made me chuckle: "This town is making me crazy." :) And...you're pretty excited about a new dog, eh?

    Thanks for the phone call several weeks ago. Yes, true to form, I suck at returning messages.

    I'll be in IA this weekend for my grandma's 90th bday. I'll say hello to the Hawkeye state for you. :)

  • This town is making me crazy, too.

    I stood in my bare feet in the yard last night watering the flowers and thinking of Africa. I'm happy here but I left a huge part of my heart in Africa and I think maybe we'll never feel at home again...because we found home an ocean away and how can you be in two places at once?

    P.S. Check your Secret Beach post.
