Reentry…Here I am!
Reentry…here I am! Experience should prepare me for this, but I am still taken aback by all that a return to reality entails. My transition home began in the taxi on my final ride in Mumbai when the driver played … Continue reading
Parting Indian Lessons
Just starting to think about lessons from India…will be digesting for at least 20 years. Such an interesting place…unexplainable events…lots of lessons learned from masterful teachers and new friends. A few lessons… Power in…power out! Flickering lights don’t seem to … Continue reading
A Few Days in Mumbai
Gaze out the plane window upon Mumbai and your eyes are drawn to the endless patches of blue…not the typical swimming pool blue of other locations, but tarp coverings guarding roofs as far as the eye can see. I am … Continue reading
