The Peace of Lake Malawi

Tiomenene everyone! (that means Hello)
This is JONATHAN LEAVY...
using Masanhko's computer...
and at Phil's urging
posting my BLOG comments.
:)
It is difficult to put into words the peace
I feel here...
no highways, televisions, movie theatres, billboards, or traffic.
We sleep just 15 meters from the shore of
Lake Malawi...which sounds like the ocean...gently lapping all night.
:)
Our emotions are complex here...ranging from anxiety to shame
to guilt to JOY!

Today we learned 2 women's dances and a men's dance
from the locals of Tukombu Village.
Amazing...
and meditative and a little complex.

We have seen 2 orphanages, 3 schools and a dozen villages.
I am making local friends...and already dreaming about
the ways these connections will blossom in the future.

Sending you all deep breaths and cleansing sighs!

Osadandaula! (means don't worry!)
Jonathan :)

Wow -- thanks for the blog update!

I am so happy for all of you that are on this trip! I'm sad that I'm not there with you.

Bless you all. I'm looking forward to more and the stories that will develop from all this.
