The meeting was held on Saturday, August 12, at a dim-sum brunch.

Against the backdrop of an Orthodox Christian church built some 600 years ago, I smelled the aroma and tasted the thick, bold and dark Ethiopian coffee, mesmerized by the ceremonial regalia, drifting in the swirl of frankincense smoke and soaking in a tradition dated back many centuries. I am in the land where coffee was birthed as attested by Kaffa, a southern province, so called for its namesake.
Having traveled north and south of the country, tomorrow I will begin my service at a Mother Teresa's home for the poor in Addis Ababa with Brothers of Missionaries of Charity.
Please pray that I see the face of God reflected on the faces of the poor.
"Most are called to salvation primarily through witnessing to God in man by loving service to others. The contemplative... finds salvation primarily through witnessing to man in God by a life of fidelity to contemplative prayer." (Father Daniel Walsh, Thomas Merton's mentor)
Pray also that in my solitary union with God during contemplation, I hold the poor's suffering as mine, seeing their faces in God.
"Let the weight of compassion in you weigh you down until you feel in your heart the same compassion that God has for the world." (Isaac of Nineveh)
As the aroma of your prayer ascends to God, I breathe the fragrance of frankincense your way. The next cup of Ethiopian brew is on me. Sorry, Starbucks.
With gratitude for your solidarity,
Ernest
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

《人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺》，就是人生。
六月間與內子遊卑詩省，踏足列治文、髙貴林、溫哥華、班拿比，正好體驗人生的喜、樂、離、合。
喜者，能出席五十多年前，香港儲蓄互助社協會，義工朋友女兒出閣之喜。更藉此西遊期間，與其他朋友、同學，再度相聚，喜上加喜，喜上眉梢。
樂者，樂見外孫，從去年爬行、牙牙學語，到今日腳踏實地、妙語連天，他小小腦袋的自動程式處理。但發音仍大有改善空間，這是人生學習過程。
As a nice event, 3 WYK'65ers met in London, England, for a dinner on June 5, 2017.
