Since I got back, I've been getting asked a lot what my favorite thing was, or what the highlight was, or what the one thing was that stuck out to me. In a lot of ways, it's hard to answer that question! I have so many feelings and thoughts, so apologies if, when you ask, my response is pretty much a dumbfounded look and bunch of stumbling around trying to think of something to say! I think a lot of my time there is probably going to just have to stay buried away in my heart and my mind. I think that's usually what happens when you go to a place in the world so drastically different. Coming home is always difficult because there's a gut feeling you have for a while that wants to punch someone in the face who starts complaining about something stupid - me included! The feeling eventually subsides, so don't worry, I don't think I'll be punching anyone. (And if I do, don't worry - I'll start with my own face. So if you see me with a black eye, stand clear!) Traveling reveals so many things. Sometimes, like in the Matrix, you wish you could go back and take the other pill that keeps you in the dark. It just makes you put your own life under a lot more scrutiny. And sometimes you just don't know what to do with that! Life is so complex. Yet, going to India made me feel more sure than I've ever been about some things that I've wrestled with for a long time. I think the hard part is having the courage to act on those things instead of trying to ignore or explain them away. So that will be my new task being back home. Hold on to what I've been given in India, and don't bury it away.
So, as a last India trip entry, I thought I'd put up a few pictures! I didn't get many, since I lost my camera, so these are quite the luxury! Thanks everyone for reading!
