the wind rests steady in one cove
and you can mail letters to her there :)

school of life
he wanted a photo together! and he asked me to mail it to him. he's not familiar with email or digital cameras, but he knows roots, shoots, buds, and blossoms more than anyone i have yet met here. maybe i will go back to yangshuo one day and keep sponging up wisdom and knowledge. what do you do when someone you really want to learn from speaks a different dialect though? :)
this is medicine
yangshuo, china. 3rd generation "grass medicine doctor." all the herbs from the local mountains, used to treat everything from the common cold to the uncommon cancer. his father is in his 80's but looks like a 60 year old. his children are practicing grass medicine healing arts too. this is medicine.
this is life
my happiest moments are still in nature. here in the shenzhen city base camp, my favorite friend and ally is highly not present. sit spots are typically on the 9th floor roof, with a grand view of the whole city. rows and rows of windows. so, i get to search for the green goodness within myself. oh, goody.
the flowers and trees and plants here are amazing.
(so are you!)
this is work
just to contrast with the office... here's a site visit prior to a program. note the mud all over me and the other foreigner, and how the locals have managed to remain mud free!
yangshuo, china. favorite place here thus far.
more office days than outdoor days though... and that is work. and thus is life. and that part is hard.
this photo shows the fun part of our program work. not photographed or noted are the high stress levels and tight rubber bands on the opposite end of the spectrum. again, thus is life?
china outdoor programs seem more stressful than the american programs i have led.
great learnings.
