life is in a village, across an ocean and right here

reflections of a week from here to there -across the ocean, to a little village, and back

life makes you laugh
giggling hurts
stories fill your mind with pictures, sounds and feelings
animals suffer in the cold
watching a fire burn is a mediation
listen to voices from far a way bring you near
the sunshine can fill your whole day, your whole self with joy
hard work come from the soul
work from your soul
good food keeps you warm
good food comes with love attached
when it is cold, sit by a fire with a friend
when there is snow go for a walk
say hello to strangers in little towns
pet the dogs
take photos to remember you were there
don't let other peoples issues overcome you
look from a distance
remember what the point was in the beginning
sometimes it snows inside the train
sometimes it can be a packed bus
watch for the little moment that make a big difference
remember that everyone is trying to be helpful in there own way
live this moment
congratulate
do things that make you a little scared
love
give
share
go to an orphanage even to be with one child
cook good food
stay warm
talk to family
sleep well
have peaceful dreams
remember, everyone has a suitcase and you never know what is inside
remember, everyone has a suitcase.
remember we all do
listen
love
and try not to understand it all
we never will
