Beautiful, Laurie. Having been to India once, twenty years ago, so much of what you wrote resonates with my experience. Dropping expectations and not everything is all dark or all light - indeed. I printed this out - I wanted a more permanent record! I guess I haven't fully embraced the "impermanence" lesson of the East, just yet!

As always, Laurie, nice piece. You capture a flavor of life that I have only read about, never experienced. The closest for me would be the reservations where a different culture, Mother NA, lives. Thank you!

Steve - I appreciate your reading and commenting -- I agree -- we need to listen and hold Mother NA with the same reverence, acceptance, and grace!
