Day 86

They've taken me in like family.  A plate of rice.  A zesty curry.  A glass of water from the deep tube well.  Why can't the German understand these simple pleasures?

Day 78

I embrace life's simple pleasures. The sunrise over the paddy. The sunset over the river. And the gentle rocking of the seesaw with my friend.

Day 75

On the BBC today: Captain Phillips returns safely to his family in Underhill, Vermont.  We areennobled by the love he showed for his crew.

Day 72

Letters from home today. I have misunderstood the intentions of the German.

Day 67

The sweetness of his fruits is only surpassed by the warmth in his heart.

Day 61

Her food and friendship sustain me.
