I just finished reading it again after a year or so. Beside the fact that blue mango trees are my absolute favorite, I could really relate to his story of helping a family in Hopkins (where I have also been). Everything he said in there really resonated with me and inspired me to leave that life of American greed and ‘what I own’ mentality. Thanks for posting this new story…it was a very visual read for me…like I was there. I need to read more of his stuff. And to end on my favorite quote from Henry Rollins: ‘You are not what you own’!!
