Tuesday 3/18 - Sacramento, CA..........back at the office, coming back to earth squarely, after having been in the clouds (literally) for the last two days, and certainly, my emotions have been way out and around, and now are starting to come back to center. My sensations have been on max overload for 10 days, so its quite refreshing to come back to normalcy, if you can call this life I lead, anything close to normal.....

The memories are still fresh, especially as I re-read parts of the blog written during the trip. I am hopefully of putting together a composite story at some point, as I fill in each day with the full scope of experiences, and as I get pictures sent to me. Having lost the camera before I even got to Africa was so seemingly a tragedy - yet one which turned out not to be, for it put the emphasis on consciousness, on my writing skills, and on my commitment to live it and experience it as fully as possible, without reliance on a single or multiple images to convey my own reality.

I sure do love sharing this trip, and all of its details, with others. My co-workers tell me it was so obviously a positive experience for me, for the manner in which I tell parts of the trip are full of energy and excitement and impact. I continue to learn things about myself and what this trip meant to me, every time I tell someone about it.....
