Contemplating the midpoint of this Peace Corps journey in Jamaica. Captivating, charming, celebrated, Challenging, consummation,completion, conquest, cogency, efficacy, efficiency, capacity, contumely, confounded, constrained, contradiction, complimentary, coquetry, curtailment and chasm are just a few words that embody my experiences over the past 15 months. At this halfway point, I reflect upon the small successes, victories that are the result of a group investment of energies, ideas, time and commitment. If one child , one adult, one group, one community has experienced a new thought, a contemplation of possibilities of change, impact or inspiration, no matter how minute, incremental or seemingly negligible, the work has begun and will not cease, for it is truly in the minds, not in the hands, that sustainable change and development begins.
Phase 2 of the journey has begun. Time for topping up on the energy vigor, commitment, ideas, and dynamism that credited the first phase. Invigorate and inspire me Lord so that I may integrate, imagine, inspire, include and innovate. Here I am Jamaica, ready for the last leg of this race. #farinainamibirthland, #peacecorpsjourney #howiseepc #peacecorpsjamaica
