Kaliyuga

Breathe
But don't ya sigh
When the colors turn to gray

-- Justin Connor

Knowing him again has not only been a bright spark in my otherwise starless city sky, it’s allowed me a few insights I find of enormous comfort.

…How far will you go?

Recent schemes are rapidly becoming reality. I had the last of my Peace Corps interviews and Jamie, my recruiter, offered me a nomination working in secondary English education, health education, or agro-forestry. She has given me the weekend to consider the different programs.
