Bruce Kirkby had fallen into a pattern of looking mindlessly at his phone for hours, flipping between emails and social media, ignoring his children and wife and everything alive in his world, when a thought struck him. This wasn't living; this wasn't him. This moment of clarity started a chain reaction which ended with a grand plan: he was going to take his wife and two young sons, jump on a freighter and head for the Himalaya. In Blue Sky Kingdom, we follow Bruce and his family's remarkable three months journey, where they would end up living amongst the Lamas of Zanskar Valley, a forgotten appendage of the ancient Tibetan empire, and one of the last places on earth where Himalayan Buddhism is still practiced freely in its original setting. Richly evocative, Blue Sky Kingdom explores the themes of modern distraction and the loss of ancient wisdom coupled with Bruce coming to terms with his elder son's diagnosis on the Autism Spectrum. Despite the natural wonders all around them at times, Bruce's experience will strike a chord with any parent--from rushing to catch a train with the whole family to the wonderment and beauty that comes with experience the world anew with your children" --Amazon.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 954.96 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 954.96 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 954.96 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 954.96 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waialua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 954.96 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 954.96 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList
