Today Kaia received his first magnifying glass from yet another Kids Central birthday party favor. We did a little searching around for ants and other small creatures on the roof and the beach. He almost lost the magnifying glass when he decided that it was more interesting to carry two rocks instead, and we luckily found it after retracing our steps in the sand. The function of the magnifying glass got me thinking a bit more about this weblog and, as our time here winds down, how it has been a magnifier of sorts of our time here. As well, living here has magnified many of life’s challenges in ways that might not have been the case in other places. Even at times, like an ant under the glass of a young child it seems like I have felt the intense burn of the sun searing down upon our lives, threatening to burst us into flames. It is a dramatic analogy, but true. Why I Love this Time: This time has not been easy, but it has been unforgettable.
