Caravan


These two photos are of the inside of the caravan. The bedroom is on one end, the sitting area is in the middle, and the kitchen on the other end. The caravan is pop-top, which means when we're towing it we pull down the top of it so it is a bit more compact.



This is the annex. It has heavy fabric sides, like a thick tent or tarp. It is our storage area/ dining room/ living room.
It will be home for a while longer!

Phone

David hopped into a fish tank with his phone in his pocket (the $35 phone we bought in Jakarta). So we've joined the masses of people with camera phones (couldn't find one without) and now find ourselves taking fuzzy shots of everything irrelevant (because we can).

Wage Peace- Judyth Hill


Wage peace with your breath.

Breathe in firemen and rubble,

breathe out whole buildings and flocks of red wing blackbirds.

Breathe in terrorists

and breathe out sleeping children and freshly mown fields.

Breathe in confusion and breathe out maple trees.

Breathe in the fallen and breathe out lifelong friendships intact.

Wage peace with your listening: hearing sirens, pray loud.

Remember your tools: flower seeds, clothes pins, clean rivers.

Make soup.

Play music, memorize the words for thank you in three languages.

Learn to knit, and make a hat.
Think of chaos as dancing raspberries,
imagine grief
as the outbreath of beauty
or the gesture of fish.

Swim for the other side.

Wage peace.

Never has the world seemed so fresh and precious:
Have a cup of tea and rejoice.

Act as if armistice has already arrived.

Celebrate today.
