For days I have been fretting over Saturday's lunch and harvest walk, a benefit for our Zen Center. Every year I do this and it doesn't help nor can I stop it. Fret, fret, worry worry.In fact Saturday was perfect, friends, strangers, good food, conversation, sun, cool breeze, mountains, fields. When I stop and take a breath, here I am in this beautiful valley with everything conspiring to show me how silly it is to worry. I hope I remember next year.
I finished DISCO FOR THE DEPARTED by Colin Cotterill, a mystery story set in Laos in the 70's. Good enough writing so I kept at it and in the end felt satisfied with how the story moved. I recommend it to people who are in the midst of needing mystery stories to survive.

Hi Kathy,
Thanks for the book recommendation. Have you read Catfish and Mandala by Andrew X. Pham? I liked that one--it's about Andrew's adventures cycling solo through Vietnam as a Viet kieu (expatriat Vietnamese) with flashback scenes from his life as a child in Vietnam.
