Cracks In The Pavement: Out of the frying pan... What next for Burma?
http://lettersonliving.blogspot.com/2009/08/i-begin-this-post-some-eight-hours-deep.html
Cracks In The Pavement. Monday, August 24, 2009. Out of the frying pan. What next for Burma? I begin this post some eight hours deep into a flight from San Francisco to Osaka. The map function on the seatback display informs me that we are several hundred miles east of the northernmost Japanese island of Hokkaido. North lies the sea of Okhotsk and the eastern fringes of Russia, a corner of this fair planet I will likely only visit during games of Risk. August 28, 2009 at 1:12 PM. Never mind about Myanmar...

Cracks In The Pavement: October 2009
http://lettersonliving.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Cracks In The Pavement. Thursday, October 8, 2009. Looking ahead to energy descent. From December 6 - 19, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Control will convene in Copenhagen to discuss the a followup to the Kyoto Protocol when that agreement expires in 2012. I may not be bound for Denmark, but I am nonetheless getting in to the spirit of the season with this post of climate ponderings. Thomas Friedman's Hot, Flat, and Crowded. And Elizabeth Kolbert's Fieldnotes From a Catastrophe. I wat...

Cracks In The Pavement: April 2009
http://lettersonliving.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Cracks In The Pavement. Saturday, April 25, 2009. From the archives: Ubud, Bali. Here is a journal entry I wrote four years ago while visiting the island of Bali in Indonesia. I was in Indonesia for one week while working with Volunteers in Asia. I plan on doing some writing on that experience in the near future. Until then, here are some thoughts I scribbled while saddled up to the bar. April 3, 2005. Worlds. A cultural train wreck, to borrow a favorite term from my good friend Brian Penrose. I read Von...

Cracks In The Pavement: June 2009
http://lettersonliving.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Cracks In The Pavement. Sunday, June 14, 2009. I am back in Chattanooga after a brief but very full trip to California. The trip home brought into focus the fact that I have just under a month left of this particular season of life in Tennessee before heading back to California. It will be sad to leave this wonderful place and the people here. I plan to soak up the experience in the weeks to come. I mainly wanted to share this link to the "Tank Man" clip. All the best,.

Cracks In The Pavement: Fond farewell to a remarkable woman
http://lettersonliving.blogspot.com/2009/09/love-to-you-on-your-way-grandma.html
Cracks In The Pavement. Thursday, September 10, 2009. Fond farewell to a remarkable woman. She would ask in disbelief. And then, 'Well, be sure you get here early in the morning.'. What are the monks like? What do they eat? Do you have to shave your head when you go there? Do they grow their own food? In large part to give Grandma a fuller picture of my experiences at the monastery, I wrote Recollections of Plum Village. September 15, 2009 at 7:19 AM. October 1, 2009 at 12:52 PM. Well done, Chad.

Cracks In The Pavement: July 2009
http://lettersonliving.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Cracks In The Pavement. Friday, July 31, 2009. Beatrice and I rolled into Monterey on Wednesday, nineteen days and several thousand miles distant from Chattanooga. Questionable directions resulted in a slight detour through North Carolina, Virgina, the Northeast, Illinois, Wyoming, Idaho, and the Pacific Northwest. Along the way, I had the distinct pleasure of touching base with several friends and family members (and was tantalizing close to others. Next trip! From Chattanooga and the road. And then I w...

Cracks In The Pavement: March 2009
http://lettersonliving.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Cracks In The Pavement. Wednesday, March 25, 2009. Views from the island. We were at full tilt on my first full day on Williams Island Farm. Noah, Kelsey, Ryan, Felicja, Ashley, and I sowed eggplant and lettuce, planted cabbage, fertigated garlic and strawberries, modified the greenhouse, fixed the compost spreader, milked the goats, fed the sheep, harvested shitake mushrooms, collected chicken eggs. and so on. A short post today. Just wanted to share some photos. Monday, March 23, 2009. Are there patter...
