Home & Blog. Tujantane – Tongabezi Trust School Zambia. For the past several months life has felt drab, dull, uninspired . . . honestly just not very fun. Today, unexpectedly, my spirits have been slightly lifted albeit from a rather humble meeting with . . . chickens. The living, clucking, pecking kind that offer eggs in exchange for food scraps (now there’s a good a deal). Pedaling our bikes to a community supported urban-farming venture. As we were nearing the end of our riverhouse. February 28, 2010.

With the passing of my younger brother Chris, these words are often present in my psyche of late. He stands here in this photo taken in 1966 between our older brother David and our Dad Carl. Along with our Dad three of my nine siblings have passed. I know it’s a trick of the mind to wander the land of big-sister, why fight a battle already loss? April 7, 2017.

http://thisupasikalife.com/wordpress/page/8
Home & Blog. Tujantane – Tongabezi Trust School Zambia. This past Wednesday Joan and I drove out to the Hermitage to get the tents ready for the monks. We aimed to get ourselves off the land before they showed up for their first night of Vassa. You really want to take her up on it! It was nice to share the meal offering with Ashleigh today; walking in with bags full of food and seeing the monks conversing near a shrine was like entering an honest to goodness monastery. Ajahn Sudanto’s mother summed...
