I\'m sitting in an Internet cafe in Kunming, China writing this, the smell of smoke hanging in the air. accompanied by the cacophony of the Counterstrike players surrounding me. It\'s been a crazy 5 days in Asia so far, Thailand and China, and soon Mongolia as well.
I realize that this period of time while I\'m free is a blessing, and I feel priveleged to be able to just take these small, short trips to meet with people who are living the vision that I have for myself, be encouraged, get a feel for the various places, and just keep the vision alive.
It\'s been fun travelling this time with people I know from home as well -- seeing various team dynamics unfold, both for better and for worse. It totally reminds me of my last group trip to Asia in summer of 1999.
Lots to share, but I think that like the text from the book says, nothing that I can\'t handle. But boy, what I\'ve seen is definitely a reminder to me that my heart really belongs here, and that all my thinking and exploring these past few years haven\'t totally been in vain, a feeling that had often swept over me while I\'m working.
We\'ll see how this all plays out...
