re-entry

We returned safely and exhausted on Friday a little after noon, and headed for our respective homes quickly.

It's always a challenge to re-enter "regular life" after an experience like this. I find myself replaying a lot of the week in my mind as I go about getting back into the routine at home. I miss the rest of the gang, and wonder what everyone is up to now that we're all back to our very different lives.

I've looked into the Turkey Creek Community Initiative some more, and wanted to offer the link for those of you interested in who we connected with while we were there.

I especially appreciate the holistic approach to rebuilding, that takes into account environmental concerns as well as human concerns; that is working on policy advocacy and relational work with the folks who are affected by the policies. I hope that this week was just the beginning of a strong and meaningful partnership. I know we have a lot to learn from the folks at Turkey Creek, and I'm willing to bet that as time goes on we will discover we also have much to offer.
