It is Thanksgiving weekend and two missed ferries and three actual ferries later, Duke Point to Tswassen, Horseshoe Bay to (wherever we were), (wherever we were) to Earl's Point, Earl's Point to Powell River. Gave me lots of time to finish the book I am now recommending to you.
Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortensen and David Oliver Relin. Fantastic story of an American man who totally changes the course of his life to build schools for children in Pakistan and Afghanistan. His story is an excellent model for the change that we each can pioneer in this world, and are called to act upon. Now one of the people I would most like to meet in the world. And I completely support the view of many others that he should one day receive the Nobel Peace Prize. I hope that my life's work and my own personal story may take this sort of direction, although I cannot yet imagine the kind of selflessness and purity of heart it would take to make the kind of sacrifices and take the kind of risks that this man has had to.
