Who would guess that it was possible to collect so much stuff over two years?

I have between 8-10 days left in Ukraine, depending on which truck driver I catch a ride with. Questions of sustainability are weighing heavily but when I think of individuals whose lives I have affected and who have changed me, I recognize a mirror effect.

It's interesting how for me, because I'm in Ukraine, for a set amount of time, this part of my life is beginning to have clear edges, defined by location.

Cold autumn rain.
One more essay to write and resumes to edit.
How do you end a blog?
