This made my day…
As many of you know, our daughter, Miranda, is near Nairobi, Kenya at Daraja Academy on a service learning trip with a group from her school, Marin Academy. Each student checked a 50 lb personal bag and a 50 lb bag of donations—almost one ton of donated items—including the bean bag toss game I made for the Daraja girls. Daily update came direct from campus today (where it’s already lights out), including picture proof that my gift reached its destination.

Across miles,
across history, time
and lives lost,
to reach these girls, inventing theirs:

First off-
Happy belated birthday!
And next, I tear with each visit the Daraja-MA Blog-the photos evidence such connection. And a bean bag toss late in the very light of evening? Got me again. Blessings.
