My first response is "Why Not!?" She has called and I am coming. Of course she has called Phillip and I in different ways, and i can only speak for my Self. Here I aim to put words to the desires of my heart that are leading me to India ...
i want to experience the land and its colorful palette of people, many languages, spirits and forms that the science of Yoga was uncovered in.
This culture is sure to be foreign in comparison to the ways of the US that i have been raised in. Here in the states i hear claims of respecting and honoring each persons individuality, but i see evidence that the real goals are aimed at homogeniety and comfort instead of understanding honest differences.
i want to dip into the cornucopia of different that is India. i want to experience spirituality in all the many shapes that Spirit takes. i want to find a comfortable seat, an Asana, and experience Yoga with life, off of my sticky mat.
i intend to travel "close to the ground", as a friend put it, with only my back pack and my Love, refining what is truly necessary each day. in the experiences yet to unfold i aim to learn of India's food, prayers, rituals, chores, stories and songs ... to hike and ride and see ... to Discover a land and its people and its beauty in wild and tame forms. Through these discoveries i ultimitely hope to discover my Self in a deeper way.
Here we go!

It's time for PICTURES!
Well, if you haven't figured it out, this is a blog pertaining to travels around the Indian Subcontinent. We're glad you're checking it out! As of today we have just under 2 weeks until we depart for India, so I thought I'd upload some of my favorite photos from the last time I was in India. I hope you enjoy...
