so i thought i had wanderlust licked, but somehow it creeps up on me out of nowhere and i have an extreme urge to travel. sometimes it's when i'm driving home and i wonder if i just kept driving where i would end up. i must be an absolute weirdo, but that's just the way it is. sometimes it's when i'm at the grocery purchasing necessary items like food, and i think about how much i would pay for the same item in a different place, let's call it Y. then i feel like not buying whatever it is because i tell myself if i save up enough maybe i could actually go to Y. sometimes the feeling is so strong it's like i walked under a waterfall, othertimes it's just like the drizzle-rain that feels like the heavens are spitting on you - either way it's uncalled for. but i sigh, and try to push the thoughts down again.
my friend Katie is in the philippines where a typhoon hit and has caused major disaster in manilla. indonesia just had a massive earthquake killing hundreds. another typhoon has leveled villages in cambodia, where Kate Pieps had been, and southeast asia. i hear about these things and again i'm called to travel for a much more concrete reason -- all i want to do is go and help!!
not now. not now. hold off. just pray for them. that's all you can do.
