In the mountains of Northern Laos, the children have greeted us with enthusiasm, or Zippy really, we just ride the most unusual beautiful bicycle they have ever seen. They are beautiful, happy, healthy and full of energy. They make our day.
Lao Children: They Keep Us Going!
Bob and Claire – seeing this reminds me of a quote from Joseph Campbell:
“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think thats what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive…so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”
Thank you for sharing your rapture of being alive.
What sweet faces on those kids!
That’s beautiful Jon. Thank you. The difficulties of this kind of travel can make us forget… Not for long!
Thank you Sara, aren’t they great!
Jon and Sarah, One friend said that emotion is how we really experience life and these kids and their bright, innocent faces really sustained me through the day.
