"The spiritual life does not remove us from the world, but leads us deeper into it." --Henri J.M. Nouwen

She waited, near death, for eight hours before a British man happened along. She would ride 14 hours over rutted roads, in three different vehicles, before landing in a hospital in Thailand. She was bedridden for more than a year and has undergone 20 surgeries. Nearly two years after the accident, for her 40th birthday, she climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, sat at the top and contemplated what she really wanted to do with the life she had nearly lost. The result is a photographic memoir called "Faces of Hope: Children of a Changing World". Her name is Alison Wright, Dalai Lama's official photographer.
