Thanks, Treana, I could tell from your blogs that you come away from your trips with things you have learned and new insights on life, and you are so kind to share them with us. It seems as if we spend our Western lives acquiring, organizing, maintaining and protecting our stuff and it keeps us from spending time with people. In your photos from Cameroon I see an openness and a connection in the faces, compared to any big city in the West where we block out strangers. I cannot wait to see the video and the snapshots the ladies took. {{hugs}} ♥

Living in a rural community, I hear so many stories from the older generation about the good old days! Families actually walked to eachother’s houses for card games, socializing and just spending time together! They didn’t have the huge machinery with lights enabeling them to work continously, and cover thousands of acres. There was one farmstead on almost every mileline. They had communal harvesting days where they all got toether and HELPED eachother harvest, then danced and socailized when the work was done. Now it seems the work is never DONE!! They didn’t have the distraction of TVs, DVDs, Computers, Videogames, and cellphones; they sat down as a family and told stories or sang and played games. I often wonder just how ADVANCED our civilization is now?? What about what we have LOST in the process of ADVANCING!! Sorry so long winded – but your blog is just so thought provoking Treana
