It would be inappropriate to end the Three Tea Tour without expressing immense thanks to the complete strangers that I have met in Colombia. Without questioning why I was the unhappiest of guests and often choked when talking about “home” and couldn’t eat for three days (so far), they have shown me that people are without question, capable of great kindness, sharing their homes, time, cars and food, with a miserable sod like I’ve been and am.<\/p>\n
What’s more, they have extended ongoing friendship, something that suddenly seems far more attractive. We have set a date for a reunion in twelve months, by which time I hope to have sufficient spanish language skills to be able to repay their kindness, with suitable words of thanks.<\/p>\n
I may also be in a more suitable frame of mind to appreciate what I could see, even through a fogged mind of tumbling thoughts, is a superb, beautiful and surprising country.<\/p>\n
So, while my immediate three teas trip has had to be halted, I am revising my decision to end it. I will continue to post material and promote the Three Teas cause. I will however throw this open to others who wish to take any Three Teas based activities.<\/p>\n
At present, the present is too raw for me to consider writing about here. I have tried however to keep notes throughout this excrutiatingly difficult time for me and who knows, they may at sometime make sense, or a more optimistic and happy outcome may materialise…who knows.<\/p>\n
For now, I have a marriage to try and salvage, or at least find the least hurtful way to conclude.<\/p>\n
Self indulgence: I do love Karen. I do wish that I had been there when the decisions she came to, were still able to be influenced. I do believe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
