one more thing...

I would encourage you all, if you haven't already, to read up on the situation in Tibet right now, because it is increasingly pertinent to the area I will be visiting!

let's pray for Tibet..

open your mind


I can't believe I've gone a whole month without posting on the good ol' blog...Things have just been crazy as always. I've started doing some reading, along with brushing up on my Hindi:

"India- monsoon and marigold, dung and dust, colors and corpses, smoke and ash, snow and sand- is a cruel, unrelenting place of ineffable sweetness. Much like life itself. And, like life itself (if reincarnation be true) worth visiting repeatedly, in this turn of the wheel and the next."

Also thank you so much to everyone who came to the fundraising dinner! The food was delicious, the conversation enriching, and I am looking forward to sharing more with you all when I come back. Namaste,
