Carrie's view :)
Its almost 3 am and I can't sleep! Probably cuz I slept in til noon-thirty today. I got home from Fiji and I have strep. Anyway, I can't sleep and all that is on my mind are the beautiful people in Fiji. The women at HOH are all so beautiful. I'm thinking of their beautiful singing voices. They don't need musical accompaniments, no loud drums, no screaming electric guitars. No, their harmonic voices alone and clapping hands will suffice. Such joy their music brings! Whether in English or Fijian, that joyful message is clear. I keep seeing in my mind's eye the moms singing and clapping their hands as the children dance freely around the group. Such an innocence surrounds the children as their limbs move through the air and their feet pitter patter around the ground. What a true testament to the beauty and joy that music brings in our lives and to our natural tendency to dance at the sound of a melody. This all may make no sense to you, and I don't feel like explaining my entire trip just yet (you can bet more Fiji posts are coming). But just now know this, I left part of myself in Fiji, but in return I gained something that I was missing in my life. I was meant to go there. My life was meant to cross those who I met there. They are a part of my story as I am now a part of theirs. I miss them all terribly, and I miss Fiji's beautiful jungle and humidity. I long to be there now. Maybe someday I can return :)
