Just keep moving pg 5

May 13, I woke up to a rain surged - crazy noisy! I loved it! It helped me sleep… and I could have easily slept in but I needed to hear my loves voice.. I miss him.. I woke up with a bunch of mosquito bites on my arm and hand. Maybe I will try to put up my mosquito net tonight. I animated a few cells last night, some quick cycles that I can overlay. I am working on a figure that could represent the people here! Happy, loving, welcoming!! I am not sure what I will do today. Mitzi is home from her work so we will hang out a little chat! Tyler Seth is simply adorable! Beautiful big brown eyes! I am wondering how I can help when I go home. I know Tacloban was hit the hardest by the storm surged, but this area needs quite a bit of help as well. How can I help?? Mitzi says only about 15 people perished in Balangiga from the storm because they "only" had wind, rain and flooding but the entire area was destroyed… Anton gave me permission to use some of his video footage from the typhoon for my animation. 

And now the sun is out, the streets are busy, the trees are waving, the sky is a bright blue… The clouds carry away the worries and there are smiles in our hearts…

I LOVE ALL THE COLORS HERE!!!  Bright and beautiful!

I do not know how to put any of this into words - my body is so uncomfortable but at the same time there is something very healing happening. When I get home I need to find this balance of rest/awake. Too much I am either one or the other, as in to much rest  or to busy. I need a happy medium. I would love to say that when I get home I will walk every day and do so many things - but in the reading I am doing (Te of Piglet) and in the being I am experiencing, I realize that action must be effortless - in that it is one thing to say, another to do and I must practice being.. to go from one task to another… it all has to be accomplished!

-------

I hit the wall - tired - exhausted - hot…. missing home… being attacked by mosquitos… I have been putting up a really good front but I am officially out of my comfort zone. I miss my shower, toilet, bed, cats, cool house, family… This is in direct opposition of all the amazing things about this place. And not just my family here but the whole town! I want to cry but fear if I begin I will not stop. Tomorrow they are going to move me to an air con room. I am hoping that will help. The emotions are many… better to sleep them off...

Fairest of them all?!
