Breathe Deep...

So, today, the door (or maybe a window) was open and I walked through it... ignorant.

The door was a glimpse into the everyday realities of Human Trafficking in Nepal - even in my beloved Pokhara... and in Thamel, just 20 minutes away... and at the bus park...

I tried hard to comprehend the situation and make sense of it with some kind of action steps.. (what I do in the best of situations!) -- but, I was overwhelmed by the sheer, stark facts.  Here, in Nepal?  my Nepal...?

I started writing (what I do when I don't know what to do) --

seeing my absolute lostness for a solution, my husband turned on the stereo and played a song by the Lost Dogs.. "Breathe Deep".  Breathe Deep the breath of God...

yeah, that's what it will take to enter and affect any kind of change for the tens of thousands of people effected by human trafficking in Nepal alone.  Some kind of breath from a living God...

to be continued....

  1. I love you. And I love that song as an expression of how much we need him and only him. I'm praying for you.
