long awaited

for five months now i have been waiting for this. today brings a special gift, so special that even just writing about it makes my eyes tear up. when i look at these pictures, my heart sinks with compassion, with love and with a sadness that makes me stop breathing. but also i see beauty. i see a sweetness of life, i people who are starving for love, and i feel compelled to give it to them. look at this mans eyes. i want to hug him. these are pictures that were taken on a friends journey to pakistan, afganistan, peru, and the rest of the world. when i saw them, i started crying, im not sure why, but i wept for the people. i love them and i have never even met them. but really that is what i feel for them, love. and i cant explain it. i will continue the series of pictures until they are done. i hope that you will be able to enjoy and get as much out of them as i have.
