long distance is awful. i have had to endure so much of it. but let me tell you: as awful as being apart is, reunions are quite possibly the most wonderful things ever. reuniting with the fam over Christmas was fantastic, seeing toni again in the sao paulo airport was blissful, and yesterday (finally!) seeing all my dear girls at lua nova was just so so happy. SO happy. the look of shock on their faces at seeing me again after so long was woooooonderful, as were the tight tight hugs that followed!
all i can think is what on earth am i going to do come may 31st when my time in brazil is up? ah! will i ever hear from these girls again? so unlikely. and too too sad to think about.
sigh. in the meantime, i have a good stretch of time to be with them yet. yay.
to give you an idea of who they are and what they look like, here is a little video the girls took yesterday with ashoka´s little flipcam while we were on lunch break from this intensive employment training course lua nova is putting on for them. i am holding a 3 week old baby of one of the residents - eek! so teeny and precious!
beijos to you all,
joojie.

PS I like the sidebar quote. I read a book about Rumi last week
even though i cannot understand a word, these women's voices are so full of energy and happy tones. their smiles are delightful - thanks for sharing!
