Back to civilization!(?)

It is now Sunday and I  am back in Abbotsford.  Yesterday I thought, "Well here I am heading back to civilizaton!"  but as I stood on the dock surrounded by all the people who had come down to say goodbye at 8:30 on a Saturday morning I began to question that thought.  They all helped pack my things on the boat as we listened to an eagle crying out from the trees on the mountain.  Esperanza may not have all the amenities that can be found in Abbotsford - I can't just jump in my car and pop down to the stores, or go to a movie or a concert in Vancouver - I can't even watch video clips on my computer and there are times when there is no power - but it is a loving community where people greet each other as they walk past each other.  It is a place where it rains a whole lot more than most other places but people don't complain - they are just glad that they will have power.  People are willing to help out and share what they have.  I am glad to be back but I hope I will remember that civilization should have a lot more to do with being civil - kind and respectful to each other, than it has to do with fast internet access, good roads, cars, TV, stores and malls.  
It will probably take me a while to really process the past 6 weeks.  Thank you for following along on my adventure.  This will be my last blog - unless I decide to spend another 6 weeks there!!  I am really glad to be home and am looking forward to seeing people again but there is part of me that is missing it already!  It is a beautiful place.  If you get the opportunity to visit a remote place on the west coast of Vancouver Island, then take it.  It is an incredible part of God's creation.
Thanks again for following along.  God bless you.
