Tomorrow it's 2 weeks ago when I first walked into the "Dark Philiosophers"-Shop in Newport.
It was raining (suprise!),it was a long day and I was on my way home when I saw the shop and heared my tutor's voice in my head telling me 'You have to go there.You have to got there'.
So I gathered all my courage and entered the shop and ran immediately into Gareth and Meg. Gareth explained the project and the shop to me,asked questions about me and after a while he and Meg said I should bring all my friends from uni and we should do some yoga.
I guess this is moment where both of them got me.I felt so welcome,I felt that there is so much room for me, my wishes and my ideas. I took some flyers, went home, mailed Devinda and suddenly I was member of TEAM Newport, still not knowing that it will be great fun and one of the best things that could have happened to me.
After yesterday, the day in the shop, the great assembly, the night in the pub I have a slight idea of what seems to be possible in this town that's so grey and sad to most people.
It's ironic that I found what I was looking for ,for so long, in the "ghost-town", maybe there is more colour in this town and more hope for this town than we thought.
Maybe we should stop looking back and start looking forward.
In my opinion the assembly was a great start, a view in the future.
For my part, I have a lot of hope and I'm ready to work hard,I'm really excited and serious about this.
I want to thank Phil who basically brought me here, Devinda and Catherine for this chance and the hope, and everybody who showed me what's possible, especially Gareth and Meg with their friendly and warm personalities, who made me feel so welcome and comfortable.
Thank you. I'm looking forward to seeing you again and to start something amazing.
