Saying Goodbye to the Global Mercy Ship in Sierra Leone



Traveling Home  

Tiredness crept over me,
as white clouds swept the sky. 

Day dreams filled my empty moments,
allowing peace to calm the way.  
 
Turning toward tomorrow,
time defined with openness.

         Aging into wisdom years, embraces new joyfulness.

Birth blesses a beginning, 
death the destination known. 

Prayers for the journey back home,
guiding steps directing way.

          Resting into quiet nights, incubating dreams of hope.

Waiting for the morning sun, 
brightens the dark of the day.

During our time in the Layene Mausoleum we joined our Muslim brothers and sisters in prayer. The interior of the worship area was reached by climbing a flight of stairs. Despite being above ground the floors were covered in a deep Sahara sand. The perfect yellow Sahara san

  Saying Goodbye to Senegal ~ Written in June 2023 Saying goodbye to Senegal, after many months of living in the country, brought feelings of gratitude mixed with sorrow. Sharing time with the Senegalese people was a joy. Saying goodbye knowing the inequalities of life and a probability of not seeing the people again felt sorrowful. My Senegal experiences reinforced my belief that we learn how to be good global citizens by asking how to live together. My time in Senegal continued to help me understand how cultures are different and not right or wrong. Continuing a global exploration, with an interest in listening, leaves me knowing there is so much more to learn. One learning opportunity involved meeting a young Nigerian artist, David Valentine, who is living in Senegal. His view of God's love for us all is similar to the painting created on the dome of the Dakar Catholic Cathedral. David Valentine described God as "the greatest artist". He believes "God's artist
