This morning I got an email from someone who has been reading the blog but not commenting, and she said it all so succinctly that I just want to put her words here: “Seems like it was the perfect trip — despite the bedbugs and altitude and sunburn and, most importantly, Lesotho still being Lesotho — you did everything you wanted to do — : saw Mpho, took her to the ocean one last time, reconnected with her and discovered the book you two made together continues to affect the women there; saw Palesa living a life that she looks (at least from her physical presence in the photos) grounded in — something that would have been impossible here — and also got confirmation from her about who you were/are in her life. And, got to be back in that amazingly physical beauty and bare-bones reality that I think has much to do with the reason the place is so powerful.” That’s it. She said it.
Very well said. Bless you all.
Well said.
