What is the appropriate behavior for a man or a woman in the midst of this world, where each person is clinging to his piece of debris? What's the proper salutation between people as they pass each other in this flood?

-- The Buddha

Rice planting is a communal effort.

The bamboo we planted at the beginning of the year has 3 new shoots growing at about 6 inches a day.

The rice fields around us have been flooded for over a month now. The rice is sprouted by throwing the seed into one area then replanted. Rice planting is a communal effort. The group of people seen here each having their own fields, each helping others get planted out.

Exciting, huh?
