Thank you very much for being my friend @onetree! I think I should be the one feeling very specially honoured to be accepted as your friend. I have always found it very difficult to make good friends in my country in the past; even my own families and relatives found me very odd! This may be because I spent a long time studying abroad and had been among very matured people and met extra-ordinary people. That' s very lucky for me, but it meant that I could not share the traditional Chinese value system of the past. My grandparents were from China so the overall culture in my family has been more Chinese than Thai. Any way, I decided to keep the good bits and try to comply rather unsuccessfully! So, most of my friends are either from overseas or had been studying abroad.

I have been hoping that the crash will not be in full swing this year. I'd rather people have at least a New Year celebration before the bad news. Something might become unhinged this October, God forbid! It's too soon!
People will have to wake up and change spiritually to cope with new uncertainty and upheavals of all kinds. I have been very concerned with my families' members who continue to believe in fake reality.
I have been slowly building my small retreat or self-sufficiency garden/house during the past five years. This is a place where I shall be teaching meditation to friends and some people. Probably, there will be healing mediation sessions, I also have a small area for walking meditation. It's my dream of having a small retreat center for friends and families to come to rest and reflect on their life and problems, in a quiet and natural surrounding! I actually build it for myself first then I have to share this with others too.
But, that's all in the future. Most people are still busy making a living in cities. Meanwhile I have to grow like a big tree with strength and branches to give cool shade for all the visiting birds in the future.
That will be my contribution to the world, I hope.

Best wishes.
Namaste, K
