Coming Back From The Beach

July 26, 2013
Jacmel, Haiti

I am volunteering my time at a Wellness Program for the summer.  This young woman, Precious, came to the site every day and just hung with me.

As I leave the beach and head back to the compound, I see her. She is hoppling as fast as she can to catch up to me. I slow down my pace. As she approaches me, Precious gently slides her hand in to mine. We are now walking hand in hand. I slow my pace again so that she does not have to struggle to keep up with me. I look at her and wonder what she is thinking. As for me: I think I have finally found someone who walks slower than me.
