Taking It With Me

My time in Cape Town is soon to end. Tomorrow, I begin the long journey of two long plane rides home. I have recently missed several days of blog posting, as I've been frenetically paced, trying to bring all my projects to a comfortable pausing point.

I have always intended that I would stretch any work begun here into the long term; at this point, it's just a matter of accepting that I must come in for a landing, so I can fully engage with my South African loved ones in my last few days here.

My heart is packed to capacity, with the exceptional people who have become family in just two months. I know I must leave them, and I am beyond ready to be home. But those I leave behind matter to me, and I am sad to say goodbye.

I will pack up all I've learned and felt, all the smiles and laughter and hugs, all the singing, all the dancing. And just like my unfinished project work, I will take it with me.
