Oregon, my heart
I will leave your cold cold rain
misting my eyes
trade you for warm rains
and hurricane winds that whip
banana trees and sand as fair as
my skin will mesh with a sea of ebony
and vast fields of poverty
industrial bridges and evergreens
fade into the background
of sweating palms that caress
the broken heart of a land long
forgotten by my fathers.
About Me
- Evangel
- My interest in Global Health started at the age of 4. My family was living in a community of nomadic goat herders in the desert of Northern Kenya doing translation and literacy work with Wycliffe. I sat next to my father as he cared for the children of the village with cuts or minor burns. The health disparities I witnessed in this community inspired me to become a nurse, and to commit my life to bring holistic healing to those suffering around the world.
Drink deeply of your time left in the beautiful NW. I miss it so much. But, maybe I'll see you in Haiti ;o) can't wait to see who God brings you to love and walk beside there.
