culture shock... im a shut in...

the majority of my days has been spent here, in my little room. ive been drawing, mostly. listening to music (horribly emo music... bright eyes, nuetral milk hotel and iron and wine...), ive been strumming my guitar a bit and doing a lot of thinking and praying. i made sun tea. my diet consists mostly of sun tea, ice coffee and water.

i went on a walk yesterday evening, through the orange orchards. it was the first time that ive walked there for about a year and half. i was suprised to find that it didnt seem like that long ago. i got sad when i was walking east, for some reason... the mountains were beautiful though.

the sweetest part of my day has been late at night. after everyone is in bed, ive taken a blanket and have laid out in the front yard for about 45 minutes just breathing, talking to God, enjoying the cool air and trying to figure out the un-familiar sounds of night in the valley. its different than night in he mountains, sitting in the grass in the apple orchard, dodging bats plummiting into our heads...

im doing well so far.
