"I am trying to get it all together." Sound familiar? All of us try to sort out our life. We use family history, religion, advisors or mentors, pop culture, drugs or alcohol, structured programs or anything else that seems to ease the transitions in our life. "The Box of Life" is the tangled, sometimes messy history of my efforts to understand and make sense of ourselves. Struggles, decisions, working with your feelings all play a part in this process. And a sense of humor helps! After a life traveling different stages, the observations I make are at the very least, honest. Hopefully it will help others in the struggles to live a full life and bring the capacity for understanding and joy.
Livingstone believed in 1856 that he had opened Central Africa to industry, commerce, and Christianity. He summoned Britain to plant a settlement that should destroy the slave trade by teaching the Christian faith to Africans and by developing the wealth of the country. Mackenzie led the mission that tried with Livingstone's help to plant this settlement. This book describes the ensuing tragedy; a tragedy that nevertheless helped to found Nysaland.
