All's been quiet on the blog-front... not sure if anyone still checks or whether you've given up. I almost have.
It seems the blog is just a part of the Cambodian me.
It's not that I don't have things to write about here in Australia. There's been a bunch of firsts - my first half-marathon, my first trip to Finland (the family homeland), my first Sri Lankan Dahl - all notable events.
But there are some things that more naturally fit with my life there in Cambodia. Blogging is one.
Prayer is another.
My prayer life has been slack but I didn't realise how different it was until an odd experience last month. I'd been providing the voiceover for a short play which involved reading a bible story in Khmer (and quite a bit of practice). Afterwards, I was compelled to pray - just the way I'd pray in Cambodia - walking and praying with urgency into the night. Something about the Khmer language stirred my soul in ways it hasn't stirred here in Australia.
Three months out from returning to Cambodia, the blogger in me begins to stir.

great to hear from you. I don't check but have you on auto feed reader. It was good to catch up with you while you were over too.
I have some friends considering triathlons and it makes me think of you, when they mention it.
Sometimes western culture gets in the way of life that you can forget to stop and listen. I hope you get a lot more chances to 'listen' before you head back.
Hi - I've been checking. Good you're almost back.
