"I left my heart..."

Today I returned to UTP.

Returning to work after a vacation always a shock. And after an idyllic one such as the one I just had with David, it's even more of a shock.

It was great seeing friends.

It was great catching up.

But a big piece of my heart went back with David, back to Oakland if not San Francisco, and it's hard to concentrate when that happens.


Which is probably why I didn't post yesterday.

Today, the ache is still there, but it's more manageable.  And there's a lot to do to get ready to go off to Chiriqui and the Ngobe-Bugle people with Lydia on Thursday.  So, putting one foot in front of the other, and one thought and one word and so on, I will prepare and go and learn.

My heart will always be with David, but not all of it.  Part of it is right here with me, helping me have the strength and courage to do what needs to be done.

Ciao!
