moments

it's the eve before i set out for the drc (democratic republic of the congo) and the butterflies have started. it is finally starting to feel real and tangible. i'm actually going. and i am excited. i have no expectations. but i do have one goal. to live in the moment. (as much as i can anyway.) i don't want to be thinking about what lies behind or to think about what lies ahead, because i could end up missing what is happening in the now. easy to say, i know. and much harder to actually do. but that is my goal – to live in the moment. or rather, in the string of moments. each and every one. one right after the other. over and over again. moments that are amazing and breathtaking and inspiring and challenging and unbelievable. and may those moments join together to form an incredible story that i can share with others along the way.
