shanty town road.

i took a walk down a near by local road yesterday. it's incredible how just a walk away life looks completely different. people making their living by selling fruits and vegetables under a piece of tin held up by limbs.

trash can be found lying in the middle of the road and is eventually raked to the side where it is burned. this is only one large pile i found in passing.
there were many local shops. saloons. dukas. all keeping the town alive.

and on my way back a rainbow stretched in the sky. perhaps a promise and a hope for abundant life over the people in this place.

living simply.
making me once again thankful for the simplicity i'm learning here.
wearing mosquito repellent as frequently as deodorant.
laying my head down at night on a pillow case filled with my dirty clothes.
using a towel for a blanket.

living with little and finding i have enough.
it is well.
