There are moments in life when you step outside of your world and into another. Knowing that this world is nothing like your own, you open your hands wide, ready to receive whatever the journey will bring.

Community

Even more than clean water, the resounding theme of this trip was community. Engulfed in laughter and memories, we came alongside one another, blending languages, cultures and worlds.

It is not enough to simply capture a moment, but rather to be captured by it. What results aren’t pictures, but memories frozen in time.

The funny thing about stepping outside of yourself and leaving everything else behind, is that you come back completely different than when you began. This life, these stories, these moments, they become a part of you. These are no longer just dusty roads on a map or a dirt runway in the middle of “nowhere.” Our footprints are all over these roads and their dirt is all over us. These streets have become familiar; these faces have names.
As we return to worlds thousands of miles away, we carry with us the weight of the stories we’ve shared and the lives that we’ve lived. We have a responsibility to come back and tell these stories; their stories. We can hear their laughter and feel their lives written all over ours. These moments weren’t lived to be hoarded and tucked away; but rather to be carried, as we walk forward, and scattered like an offering in the most beautiful places that we go.
