A Peace Corps Volunteer’s Memoirs... Is there something in the lessons I learned that makes sense of why an Arab Muslim boy who grew up in America came to understand himself (and the world) more fully in Central Africa?

changing
6/20/2002:
been a few days. still in and out of my head. up and down emotionally. but i won't go there b/c i'm not coming back.
i've said a lot... and perhaps changed a little. not thinking as much. but still thinking. accepting. drifting. yet not completely letting go... and i need to. enough.
remind me to write about the garden! Musa & Haider's.

IMAGE: musa and haider standing in their garden. great little spot across the river in kayes. they both have degrees in agriculture, i believe.
ReplyDeletethe garden was an effort amongst 3 friends (the 3rd was an engineer who designed/built the irrigation system) to grow & sell vegetables.
i think i may have only spent a day in the garden... but i have fond memories of weeding the beds and resting in the shade of the trees.
salaam to musa & haider! :)
