Happy New Year!

Songkran in Silom - my local area

Yes, it is Thai New Year again, otherwise known as Songkran.  Given my last couple of posts, I judge that I am ready for some outrageous time off. This is the real holiday time in Thailand.  It is when everyone goes home or goes away.  It is the time of the year when the streets of my Bangkok empty out of the day to day population and become alive with water sports.  It can be wild but in the midst of all this is the chance to spend a few quiet days tucked away in one's room.  Therein lies the golden opportunity to spend not just quiet time but time in solitude and nourish the spirit.

What a great way to start a new year.  Happy New Year!
