Leaf: A shop full of brass instruments. My favourite was this old saxophone. (Annandale, Australia)

Rae: I was just thinking that you haven't experienced Pai in the crazy high season yet, so you probably haven't seen this statue fellow. He stands close to the end of my street, a different color every day, and lets people paint on him. Until last year Solo thought he was a real statue. (Pai, Thailand)

Leaf: The Anarchist Library for the anarchist in all of us…and with a secret message…'I miss you'. Look closely and you'll see B & I in the reflection. (Enmore, Australia)

Rae: Do you remember the friends I told you about, who came to meditation sometimes last year? Well, they just landed back in town and I came upon them singing on the walking street the other day. Yay! (Pai, Thailand)

Leaf: The sun transforms ordinary places into holy ground. (Yarramundi, Australia)

Rae: It was so sweet to see these two playing together again. I'm so happy that Maria could come for a short visit! (Pai, Thailand)

Rae: We're in homeschooling days filled with books and cups of tea, popcorn and of course, children. (Pai, Thailand)

Leaf: This is my childhood friend Jon who now makes a living busking the streets of Sydney. (Corrimal, Australia)

Rae: Sometimes I think of all the time I have spent looking for affordable storage options, and I'm sure it might add up to years. (Pai, Thailand)

Leaf: Pete found a place to make music while his four kids play below…a little loft! (Colo, Australia)

Rae: This is the home of a dear, dear friend, one of the prettiest places I've ever seen. Chinua and I slept under the stars (and down blankets-it's getting chilly) on sofas in the backyard. Beautiful. (Ojai, USA)

Leaf: Jetty and Boat Shed. (Wagstaff, Australia)

Rae: A little late night music, featuring Aunt Dorothy, Chinua, Cousin James, Aunt Loretta, and Chinua's wonderful dad, Ade. (Detroit, USA)
