So 6 months have gone, we begin taking our students to the airport tonight. Where did time go? Sekelip mata aje masa dah berlalu. Tak perasan langsung! One day we were celebrating the dawn of 2011 the next minute we are here at the end of June 2011.
I wonder about life. I feel that I should not be questioning about what I am doing, but I think that is the mark of finding the perfect fit and direction one wants to head towards. I find myself back in the place of why? and what? and when? often enough to wonder when this will ever end? Jesus, please make my road ahead clearer.
Africa was wonderful, I love Mozambique but most of all, I love my friends there. And I wonder at the meaning of life when I see my friends suffering. Suffering in the face of death daily. Children die daily because of preventable reasons yet I live a full life. Injustice in my face all day long. Emotions that I did not have and cannot find. They were silenced and stilled.
Little Rahul, you suffered an unjustified death. The Enemy took your life over time, over the lack of understanding, knowledge and truth. You were meant to live life. I weep when I think of what I have and what you do not. You never lived a full life in your tiny body, you never could. Even if you were still alive today, 'full' would not have described the opportunities that would never come your way. There are always the sicknesses, the beliefs, the lack of and the river that might have taken your life short of its fullness. Africa, you taught me lessons of life. I want to come and see you again. You made my life worth living for. Even if I was meant to stroke your little forehead for comfort, it was a trip worth going because you taught me what injustice looks like.
