Post Script: We saw Joshua again at Kindness in the Park today. He had more words of wisdom. But not in an advicy, preachy sort of way....just in a natural way. We first just looked at my youngest daughter playing. He said "what a free spirit." He loved that she was free and unafraid. He said look at her. She is just free. We must keep it that way. He was laughing and enjoying watching her. I found myself more relaxed in his presence and noticing the freedom of my daughter. Joshua is his name. I told him I wrote about him. He had a huge smile. He reminded us that people who choose to not be in the rat race sometimes are called the crazy ones but because of their sacrifice we benefit for years to come.  He wanted to encourage us because he recognizes we are choosing a different path.  He remembered the people in Bostwana where he lived for 3 years in a refugee camp. He said they were the happiest people he had ever met.  He was so happy those few years, he said.  They did not abuse women. They respected children so much the adults kept apologizing to the children, not the other way around. He said the answer doesn't lie in money. If the answer was money, we wouldn't have the kind of suffering we see in the US. He looked at my daughter and said the investment you do in her will pay off to 10 more people years down the road and we'll never know exactly how, but it will. The answer is in her, he said....looking kindly at her. The children. We exchanged contact information. I hope we can share stories again, we both said to each other. He left us with a hand-written note: "Thank you so much for uplifting my spirit. Remember that what you are doing you are affecting someone like myself in a very positive way. All heroes stood for principles; they were undermined and defamed but in the end we all benefited for their sacrifice and selfless spirit. Please "Be" encouraged." He signed off as our brother, Joshua. I feel this is not the last time we will meet.
