A priest friend moved to Benin last year. We write a lot, and last time he visited me. His views and things on his mind are WAY different than ours...
I have just bought a house, and I was wondering about the interests I had to pay, while he thought about where they were going to take their homeless kids... Sad but true...

When you buy a pack of strings, just know that you are spending the equivalent of 2 weeks of salary back there... Just have it on your mind. I pray that someday, all humans might eat all they need, and be able to think only about art and music (because when you can think about that, it means you have eaten and you have a place to sleep at night.)
