the house beckons
we just finished up harvesting the sweet potatoes and cassava, so i found the opportunity to run off and explore the property. after washing the soil from under my nails i made my way to the front of the house, hearing the occasional bok-bok coming from the hens that roamed the garden while the almost-midday sun beat down on me. my t-shirt was drenched in sweat and my legs were swollen from mosquito bites, but the last thing that came to mind was the comfort of home.
now that i'm back home i look at this photo with a tugging feeling in my chest, feeling something close to reverse homesickness.
