Time to write again

I simply can't begin to explain just how hard it is to start writing again. Its not that i havn't tried... infact many many times, it has just been to difficult. to emotional. The adjustment to life back in Australia has been massive for me, and is still very raw. I have now been home from malawi for an astounding 6 months and to start writing about this journey is a big step. a monumental one..... and very hard to explain. In malawi i wrote almost everyday and occasionally i posted my thoughts on this blog, but as you can see the last time i did that was from London airport before heading back to melbourne. So here is a new chapter. And to be perfectly honest, it has only been in this last rather challenging month that i've started to really honestly process the impact of my time away and integrate my worlds. Probably for me more than anyone else I want to open that malawi box and share the untold stories from then and now. boxes that are closed and nicely wrapped may look nice and pretty, but thats not how they are meant to stay. bottles with lids on them may be safe and protected but then you can't enjoy whats inside. weird maybe, but makes sense to me.
