''to whom much is given, much is required''
luke 12 v 48

hope. such a small word, yet it holds so much.

yes, i'm pretty priveledged. i have plenty. too much in fact.

so, this photo was taken on tuesday at the adelphi. it's of nahro zagros. a good friend. an amazing violinist. originally from kurdistan. his music is beautiful. shared many a great memories with him....most over some kind of food. one thing is that he LOVES chilli. we used to work together and have lunch sometimes at this chinese restaurant. one time he accidentally dropped some chilli oil into the chinese tea and he still drank it! also, you get this really nice sweetcorn soup and everytime we went, they gave him an extra large bowl! those were the days! he's actually going back to kurdistan after the summer to teach, since he got his PhD now....even though i don't see him that often nowerdays,...i'll miss having him around.....
