I came back home to Bangkok and within two weeks was in touch with huge differences within the local scene. On the surface, life in Bangkok seems quiet - funnily quiet - but under the surface there is a lot of talk that tells you much is happening and the social environment is dramatically changing.
The basic lesson is that when one does not deal with one's issues, they do not just go away but stay and become even pronounced. The same is true at a social level.
I do wait to see what happens next here and when. I only hope it is for the good of the people and their society.
I am John Murray, an Australian, Catholic priest of the Order of St Augustine. I live and work in Thailand and have been here since October 2005. I have many stories from my life journey and would simply like to share some of them. So hope you enjoy and go away sometime with a smile or a helpful little insight.
We gather
to give thanks for my 25 years.
