Seeds of Philosophy

I remember when I was vacationing at my grandparents’ house how my cousins thought our young neighbors from another Christian denomination were not like us and treated them in a different way.

I think that was also the first time I started asking questions about faith and belief systems. To my young mind I asked if the Jesus they believed in was not the same Jesus I believed in. These thoughts later recurred when I first heard about Buddhism. When they pray to Buddha, does Jesus hear those prayers too? Are we worshipping the same person? If Buddha was not great, why would people pray to him? At the end of the world, will Jesus save Buddhists too?

It's been 6 weeks since I left Singapore, indeed a month and a half. And after a STRING of flights from Singapore, Scotland, England and Toronto, I am here in Winnipeg - safe and cold!

I'm taking this relocation as a chance to go back to writing in here - to record observations, culture shock, new acquaintances, people and places until I could say I've found my stride, I've formed new habits. We'll see :-)
