Agave Plant


Agave plant, Asistencia Santa Ysabel, CA. Tanya photo 2009

My second cousin, Chad, dropped by on his way to work on an island farm in Tennesee last evening. He recently spent some time at Plum Village, the meditation center and farm in France where Vietnamese Buddist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh lives and works.

He was carrying a lap-top with his photos of Plum Village--a nice selection of pictures which made the farm and the international group working there live for us.

It is good to see that a new generation of dedicated people are arriving--and especially good to see them from my own family!

I own one of Thich Nhat Hanh's books in paperback and I like to re-read it now and then. It is simple, direct and helpful. "Being Peace" is the title of the book. It is published by Parallax Press in Berkeley, CA.

Smile, Hanh says--it helps us all.
