Pure faith in mankind. There are so many amazing people all around us They pass by us on a daily basis. The question I ask is how often do we take the time to really get to know the people around us? Keep well Zu, you are an amazing woman. Zu, that is an amazing story. Pure faith in mankind. There are so many amazing people all around us They pass by us on a daily basis.

He is a Thai man and a Singapore Airlines pilot in Singapore. Every year, he takes two weeks off his annual vacation to do what I am simply calling, the "monkhood practice". He shaves his head, dorn a yellow robe, carries a bowl and walks the street of a town begging for food. At night he sleeps at a temple or any abode offered to him. He does not carry any money. His livelihood for these two weeks depends on the kindness and generousity of the people he meets. Talking about being totally vulnerable! He told me that many of his friends practice this tradition/practice. What I experience in him is peace, kindness and generosity. He was our neighbour when we were living in Singapore and we have been invited many times over for scrumptions dinners. Telling you this story reminds me of the wonderful evenings we spent with Cholsist. Hi Fred,
