Being married and living internationally is a learning experience.



We have so many friends who are so good to us (me-Michael; &-Aundreta) and teach us good things about ourselves. Sevilay, Aundreta's student, loves her so much and is so inspired by Aundreta's story. We had a meal together before her trip to Gaziantep, where she is now teaching. Such a kind heart--and very artistic. One thing she showed us was the vase she had designed. The detail was so delicate and beautiful. I mention that to bring my thoughts to this: We have an opportunity to build something like that ourselves with this relationship--the metaphysical version of a vase, to hold something beautiful, to decorate with experiences, and to cook in a kiln to make it strong and durable.

Doing that abroad is difficult, but so strengthening.
