Sangy'e


This being the last hour of the last day of 2011, I decided to post one of my favorite images from the past year. It was a snowy day in March or April I met Sangy'e tendzin, riding his bike near the Ashland Post Office. He volunteers at the Buddhist Center and also carves walking sticks and what he calls magic wands. He's originally from upstate New York and refers to himself as a "recovering project manager from the corporate world." Today his mission is to employ a sense of humor in conveying a message of hope and goodwill, a timely one as we begin a New Year.
