And now what?

Well, I keep having these thoughts or these memories and think to myself, “I should blog about that…” but haven’t been able to because I didn’t want to start a blog in the middle of nowhere.  So here goes a “brilliant”—this is me—introduction and purpose of this blog. 

 

I have no reason for anonymity.  My name is Will Watson.  I am 19 years old.  I graduated from Texoma Christian School in Sherman, Texas in May of 2007.  I’ll get to the whole life story part at a later date but I recently returned home after spending six months in Africa.  In Kenya, God sent some angels to me in the form of the two coolest people in the world: Jill and Bethany.  We traveled some 2,600 miles through five countries in Eastern Central Africa with three backpacks and hearts desiring love.  While in Africa writing became some sort of a cathartic release… I now find solace in writing.  I want to record the memories of Africa.  The joys, the pain, the laughs, the fun, the sorrow, the struggle, and the passion.  The love.  I want to dream again.  And for now, this is my attempt.

 

So come dream with me.  Let’s hope together.  Let’s ask the hard questions and search for the answers.  Let us “call everything by it’s right name.” (Into the Wild). 

 

Grace and peace to you.

I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one’s neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.
