My Preaching

While we wait, there are hundreds of visitors to the Sogen-ji monastery to attend the annual formal tea ceremony today.

Downtown Shibuya, Tokyo. "Bustle" doesn't quite capture it. Everywhere you look, you could look more and see more.

My first day in Japan. Tthe Dominicans took me to visit a local Shinto shrine, Meiji Jingu.

This is my nephew Kyle in the back of his father's Chevy Suburban. Kyle is 15. He is learning to play the guitar, and is fiddling around with my road guitar as we drive.

I have been given many gifts in my life. Gift-giving is an impulse we all share, wanting those whom we love to receive the blessings we are able to give.

Sor Lucia Roge Nutritional Center. Not a very exciting name? "nutritional center"? , but an incredible place.

I'm on tour in Guatemala with Food For the Poor, seeing our work.

The last day of my retreat, and the desert is in bloom.

Mike and I planned to camp in the desert next to Lake Powell. We bought an inflatable canoe so that we could go out on the lake. But like the "best laid plans of mice and men," things went astray.

Africa begins to work her spell on me. The people, the land, the sun, the LIFE. Above is a view of Maasailand from just the other side of the hills here in Karen. I have been told that Nairobi is not really Africa, but that Africa begins where it leaves off. These photos are Africa.
