the waters of Rwanda
Several years ago, I visited Rwanda as part of a study abroad program.
Not so long ago, I sat in on a Universal Unitarian church service during which they asked attendees for stories about water.
I thought of the waters of Rwanda.
which I had been told would be dangerous
for which I was told I had to buy water filtration gear
I never even took that gear out of its packaging.
People always ask why I would go someplace so dangerous.
Because they don’t know
we are the same amount of dangerous.
