Pig Feet and Life Is Beautiful

I break the silence with ... a post about Pig Feet! Titus ate some for the first time this month, and it was love at first bite. You can imagine a selfish toddler saying "Cookie! Cookie!" Titus says "Zhu Jiao! Zhu Jiao!" that is, Pig Feet! Pig Feet!

The sun is shining on this first day of the spring semester. Titus began Chinese preschool, I substitute-taught one class, and Drew is in the classroom this afternoon. Neighborhood friends have returned after traveling during Chinese New Year holiday.

Life is Beautiful!

Hi friend! We like to hear back from you. -- Rachel & Drew.

Neighbors 邻居

“It may be possible for each to think too much of his own potential glory hereafter; it is hardly possible for him to think too often or too deeply about that of his neighbor. The load, or weight, or burden of my neighbor's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. ...

"There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations -- these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit. ...your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses.”

- C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
