Cambodia: Like No Place I've Been. Cambodia is like Australia.”. I had been sitting on a boat in the sun all day, coming up the Mekong from Vietnam, and all those rays were making my senses feel a little bit baked. I couldn’t be quite sure if the words I thought I heard came from inside or outside my head. I still haven’t been to Australia, but after four weeks in Cambodia I can say that the people we’ve encountered here have indeed been incredibly laid back and friendly. People seem to s...Skulls of vic...

Pay Attention. Be Astonished. Tell About It. -Mary Oliver. Skip to primary content. Week One of Thirty Seven. September 4, 2014. I finally (after much rigmarole) regained access to this blog. So I’m transferring this post from Dreaming Spires. It was written on August 15th (and posted on August 21st, because, well, this is Africa and the internet is not always guaranteed). I sat in the garden tonight, and watched the stars come out. You see, I find strangers frightening. (I’m not frightened. You see, I&#...

Reflections on the life of faith in human context. Monday, May 2, 2011. Culture Quote of the Day - is it ethnocentric to talk about people being ethnocentric? I interrupt this discussion of ethnocentrism and ethnorelativism to bring you a different perspective. Many say that it is ethnocentric to claim that our religion is superior to others. Yet isn't that very statement ethnocentric? Timothy Keller, The Reason for God. Does he accurately portray "ethnocentrism"? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Reflections on the life of faith in human context. Monday, July 25, 2011. Culture Quote of the Day - Questions God Can't Answer. Can a mortal ask question which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. How many hours are there in a mile? Is yellow square or round? Probably half the questions we ask – half our great theological and metaphysical problems – are like that.". CS Lewis, A Grief Observed. Labels: C.S. Lewis. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Vietnam: Yin and Yang | Game Trekking
http://www.gametrekking.com/blog/vietnam-yin-and-yang
Vietnam: Yin and Yang. A few weeks ago I wrote a glowing review. Of the experiences Marisa and I had while traveling in Taiwan a jovial celebration of the vulnerability of extended travel, and the wonderful encounters that come out of it. I made a game called The Kindness of Strangers. Is what the world is like. And so my most immediate experience becomes a lens that colors my entire perception of the world, prejudiced greatly over previous experiences I may have had. (Incidentally, I recently fi...I beg...
