Quotes to remember

''If you want to be a true professional, you will do something outside yourself. Something to repair tears in your community. Something to make life a little better for people, less fortunate than you. That's what I think. A meaningful life is not living for one's self, but for one's community.'' - Ruth Bader Ginsburg

My community for the past 17 months has been Bali. Have been helping out some friends by buying them some food stuff

Number of packets noodles, tea, biscuits, fruit. Other day girlfriend Inul asked if I would change what I buy

Seems they would get more from rice than from noodles. So on Monday gave them 5kg rice, 2 packets sugar and 10 eggs

Didn't feel the same

This is what I was providing

Will get another photo of what Inul and I are giving now soon

I've known the friends for more than 10 years since I have been coming to Bali

Inul not as long but when I became stranded here she began to take care of me filling out the mountain of paperwork to have my 30 day tourist visa extended and over that another mountain of paperwork to have me vaccinated

"I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go."

"I'm a pool reader"

A what?

"A pool reader"

What's a pool reader?

"It's like a tea leaf reader in a cup. But a lot bigger. You know all those leaves which blow into your pool? I come along, stand on your roof and read them for you"

Billy Connolly
