Disclaimer

I felt a disclaimer would be necessary for this blog after a couple of days in Namibia. When I arrived, I was fully prepared to document my experiences for those people who might be interested in my adventures. I had planned to capture each incredible moment with mere words and a camera. I had no idea how inadequate those tools would be for the assigned task. They would probably accomplish the job as successfully as performing exploratory surgery with a plastic knife and salad tongs.

I wish I could share every moment, every second with each and every one of you. It is incredible beyond words. I wish you could see what I’ve seen, hear what I’ve heard, feel what I’ve felt, and experience what I have and will experience. But sadly that can’t happen. Those moments are passed, lost forever to my memory. I feel a little guilty even that all of this is for me, that God gave this great gift to only me. But I know that there are gifts out there for each and everyone, experiences unique to each individual. And as much as I am able, I will try my hardest to capture what I can, share what I am able, to give you all a tiny piece of the wonder that is consuming me daily. I will use my words like an artist uses a paintbrush in an attempt to recreate on the canvas of your mind what my being has bore witness to. Through me and my words, my stories, my struggles, my joys, and my writings, as limited as they are…I hope you share in my greatest treasure, my gift of life.
