well, greetings from thailand. its been a great time here, meeting the lovely folks from servants (another organization working w/the urban poor in asia) and just spending some rest time before i head back to the heat and grind of kolkata. although i must say i really do miss my home there and am ready to get back in the routine of daily life...not so normal, but routine in some ways all the same.
as of now i'm staying at a guest house in bangkok. enjoy starbucks coffee, and the occasional burger king cheese burger. gosh i love red meat! and of course i am loving the freedom of trading in my long pants and salwar tops for tank tops and shorts. the simple things mean so much more when do without them for awhile.
there's been so much to reflect on after leaving this conference w/servants. but i 'm afraid it will have to wait for yet another time, because i'm a bit overwhelmed by all i heard, and the way it is challenging my life. community, living with the poor, christ's suffering, how we are to suffer on behalf of our friends, etc...you know, just a light afternoon's worth of thinking...
anyways, i'll be back to kolkata on sunday.
peace to you all. and much love.
bethie.
