on nothing in particular...

It's tea time, a fixed part of our schedule here----a wonderful part of
our schedule that I haven't really taken advantage of; perhaps I've made
it to tea less than 30% of the time. It's tea time, and I'm sitting out
here on the patio where it is wonderfully sunny and I'm literally
watching the swiss flag flying not too far away. It's my last week here
and I have only just discovered that the wireless signal reaches out
here!

I'm working on a workshop right now; my group is currently taking a
break. We're doing a workshop tomorrow on how Western media portrays
Africa as part of the conference that's going on right now for a "clean
and just" Africa. Which has been pretty interesting....though today
we've taking a break. Today is Global Indigeneous People's day, and
there's a group meeting about that here too. So there are indigeneous
folks here and Africans...and then there's me....and I am exhausted and
wanting to reflect on the things that are already going on in my very
full head....
