El Norte

Working on getting ready for something kinda intense. I dont know if Im gonna be able to hack it. Some friends and myself are going to be walking across the AZ desert at the end of the month with an organization called "No More Deaths." Its not the walk that Im worried about. Im planning on doing a photo-essay from images i take on the trip. I want to use this as a sample to gain more support and a publisher for a larger project that would explore the migrant experience. Yeah, I sure dont know if I can do this on my own. I am actually pretty sure I cant. That is in a way reassuring. I know that God will give me the skill and wisdom to complete any project He intends for me to do. So in a very conceptual way I am not worried because I think this very well could be something I am meant to do. On the other hand, the realistic hand, the actually-doing-it-hand, I have my doubts.

Part of it is that I dont know what to do to prepare. Its on my mind a lot and I am excited. So then do what? Just wait, hang out, get your gear together. I dont want to invest all this mental energy just to have it sputter out when I get there. No, thats not cool. Just be cool and it will work out when the time comes. Yeah, like everything else in life right?
