You have a great plan, Justin, but how you manage to fit in all the creative endeavor and hold down a teaching job is beyond me. Your story today really rings true to me. Living in another culture for a time - even six months, changes you forever, and it is hard to "come home again". It is a special form of anomie, this not knowing precisely one's place in the world any more. Thanks for the new 50-word prompt. Does it have a photo?
Hard to return to modern complexity after three years of such beautiful simplicity and gratitude. Love it.
Just as good the second time. A novel? Go for it!
This reminded me of my brief stint in Ethiopia.
Missed those kids so much.
Really enjoyed this story, Justin. Good luck with Off the Trail 👍🏼
Another great story!!
Quite a rich story and understandable on so many levels - Thanks Justin

Justin, let me know when Off the Trail is done, or nearly done. Looking forward to reading more of that story!!!
Did you use to live in Uganda? I lived there for 7 years. You never knew what tomorrow might bring and that’s one reason I loved it there.
