My Thai visa is expiring, so I’m choosing a new direction. Bus to Chiang Rai, then across the Mekong to Laos. I know almost nothing about it. Maybe that’s why it’s exciting.
234. | I May Be Wrong
The author may have written a book about doubt, which I read with open and hopeful eyes. Now I open my palms and let go of both doubt and hope.
233. | Trapped by insurance
The first letter was honest. That’s why I didn’t send it. The second was polite. I sent this one. The answer is exactly what we don’t use paper for here in Asia.
232. | Two adventurous days around Pai
I loved spending the whole day observing my surroundings with effortless attention. It felt like my boat was swimming with the fish.
231. | A little lesson organized into a map
I don’t always like lists. This one really got me with its first point. It became an internal map. Sometimes it’s good for a hiker to look at the map.

Google Maps, dogs, a river and a lost trail. The 900 meters from the church turned into a jungle hike. I arrived alive.

227. | So, what happened here? Summary II.
I came to this Buddhist forest temple because I wasn’t happy here yet.
226. | It wasn’t there for 10 days and yet it was there. Summary I.
I feel more and more strongly that I must give in order to receive. The church has given clear teaching on this.
