Today the acacia's are out in full bloom (regardless of the drizzling rain): bright yellow against dark green. The maize is tall and dry, almost ready for harvest. The weather has lost it's heat as we creep into the cool season.
All just like a year ago.
One of the oddest things has been seeing Malawi one year on after my arrival. To spend an entire year and to see everything come around again: flowers, maize, weather. As soon as you see this repetition it's like an immediate jolt of perspective--you see things just a fraction more as Malawians see them: predictable, cyclical, with no defining end point.
This is it: last day at IITA.
enjoyed being with you at IITA-Malawi, you were so fun to work and stay with and a source of inspiration to many. will miss your chichewa, will miss you. hoping to continue seeing you around .......on this blog and keep in touch.Emmanuel
