We arrive in batches, shuttling from the airport, clunking
off to our rooms up rain-slicked paths, straggling through mystical mangroves to
dinner.
We are eager to learn about this motley crew assembled from
across the country: David, Marilyn, Michelle, Robert, Warren, Roger, Chris,
Keith, Paddy, Mary Dee, Darlene, Vicky, Julie, Lynn, Jim, Linda, Shari, Pam,
Laurie, John, Betsy, Russ, Dave, Barbara, Mary, and Bud. Now we just need to
remember our assigned seating for the next two weeks!
We listen in earnest to Bud’s providential story of coming
to Anse La Raye and his hopeful account of what might be possible through teams
of volunteers. We are weary and disoriented, waiting to settle in and to see
Marigot Bay in the sunlight. And, mostly, we are eager to meet the community.
