learning, living, and searching for solitude.

it is raining now.  a tranquil end to a long, bustling day.  it hasn't been raining.  it has been dry.

we took a step out into independence today.  we claimed our little bit of responsibility, of authority.  and in the end, the decision came that we will now learn how to run the orphanage.  

we drove ourselves today.  i drove for nearly four hours across Port Au Prince and back.  we had some near disasters.  we had some recoveries. we made it home, not without difficulty, but safely.  

a few guys have been working on the water tower, laying blocks for the windows and plastering the walls.  hopefully i will have a new home soon.  

there is so much to learn.  

there is so much to live.
