Balik-Tanaw | Radical waiting and radical witnessing

As I write this, I am now on the seventh sojourn of my life as a solitary pilgrim. I began this life after retirement when homelessness was imminent and that’s when I decided to embrace uncertainty. Embrace what is yet to come. Embrace what you don’t know. Embrace life as it comes. And that’s when I thought of volunteering for food and a place to lay my head.

A life of freedom and a life that gives the best lessons on humility. (As you age, you need more help from people, right?)
