I walk through the Christmas city lights, not a taxi in sight and the town going crazy all around me, and I think how kissing is such an extravagance of nature. Like birdsong; heartfelt and lovely beyond any possible usefulness.
Anne Enright, The Forgotten Waltz (via wwnorton)
One of the best books I read this year.

The Top 10 Mercy Corps Photos of 2011
We asked Phil, keeper of the Mercy Corps photo library, to compile his 10 favorite photos of 2011. Covering the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan, historic drought and famine in the Horn of Africa, and ongoing conflict in many parts of the world, these images are an inspiring reminder of how much ground we’ve covered this year, and why we’re so passionate about the work we do. See more.
Loved working on this. As a relative newbie to Mercy Corps, it’s amazing to see the scope and impact of our work.
