We climbed onto this tuk-tuk and roared off to visit a temple in a nearby village. A kilometer or two from the Temple the ancient engine suddenly died. On our best living-small behavior that day, we took the unscheduled stop as opportunity and invitation. We explored without impatience, and eventually found a tiny restaurant by the water. Please notice the driver's face. Please also notice he isn't wearing a watch. He wasn't impatient either. 
Thai Spirit provides a template for life lived small. The Great Recession has made a simpler life both inevitable and welcome. My teachers are Thai friends whose Buddhism is full of color and mystery, but utterly practical too. This blog is a tribute to the best of Thai Spirit and a place of dialogue about how to grow small.
