Got into Colombo safely at midnight last night. This was also and interesting and very different experience from my last trip. I lived with the Lawrances this time (not in the camp). Unfortunately I hadn’t charged my camera battery, so I don’t have as many pics!
As usual, I will type up my journal entries in the next couple of days. Something I thought of while I was out there seeing how a lot of these people are living, were the lyrics in a Tupac song that says:
Why am I fighting to live, if I’m just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see, when there ain’t nothin’ in sight?
Why am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try?
Why am I dying to live, if I’m just living to die?
I think it was seeing the fact that these people don’t have much to live for, but yet they go on. I guess I was very impressed by their resilience despite all they’ve been through…
