The War on Loneliness
A great post related to the exploding heroin addiction problem in the United States. Turns out addiction is less pronounced and powerful when people are in community. People crave relationships...we were made for them.
A LIBYAN NOVEL YOU SHOULD READ
It was only recently translated from Italian into English. It's billed as a multi-generational fictional history of Libya beginning from the 1900s in the vein of the epic The Cairo Trilogy: Palace Walk, Palace of Desire, Sugar Street
--one of my favorites. I just started it and am adding it to my 2015 Reading List.
A Stage Across the Sea An unjustly-neglected Libyan novelist captured the twisted logic of colonialism, past and present.
In which a very intelligent writer named Ursula Lindsey lays out exactly why The Confines of the Shadow is such an important book.
DADA | The Malagasy Trialist
Cool little video about a Malagasy stunt bike rider named Dada up in Nosy Be.
The blind hiker who takes on the wilderness
Don't need to say much more than the title. The hiker described has started a cool charity called The Far Sight Foundation . He was the first blink hiker to complete the Appalachian Trail--check out his website.
CASH FAMILY “AGE 18 LIST” FOR OUR KIDS
A great post from the Chaplain for Mercy Ships that is here in Madagascar right now. In it he offers a template to write out your hopes for your children by the time they turn 18. Working backward from that then gives you an ability to build up those characteristics in your children.
