A Calm

03/12/08

There is a relative calm in our lives. We seem to have adopted a rhythm of life that is harmonious with our surroundings. The Peace Corps bureaucracy seems remote. Our daily routine, our attitude about the pace of Samoa, and the speed of our projects are now taken in stride. Even the food we get seems more palatable. Mary is even beginning to like it! She hasn’t cooked in quite a while. Our families are doing well and have seemed to adjust to our absence. It is a time for us to enjoy the stillness of tranquility.
