Notes from Mozambique 1

From Evernote:

Mozambique

There's not much of a difference between us. The things the Mozambiquen people need are the things we all need: hope- reconciliation after conflict. Safety for our families. Work. Enjoyment. Friends. Hope in spite of disease and death and loss. We're not better. We've just got fancier things. We're still looking for the same basic desires.
The basic question, then, is "do we choose others of ourselves? Does strength and selfishness win, or sacrifice and sensitivity?"

We're all running around like ants, whether we're gathering in the middle of a field, or typing in a cubicle.
