Enjoying my chaos.

I'm sorry I haven't been able to take you with me as much as I had hoped this month.

So... we're in Rishikesh, and going to take our long overnight train to Mumbai tomorrow morning at 6:23 a.m.

...Phew... (long sigh)

Wow.

It's all wow. A man asked me today, "What is it most you like in India?" I stumbled over my answer, settled on a couple cliche' phrases, and then ended with... "It's all new. It's all just so new."

I'm going to Utah this week. I can't believe I just said that. I can't believe that's real for me. I'm crying. I'm crying? Why? I'm sad, I'm happy, I'm tired, I'm relieved, I want to rest, I want to hug my family. I'm actually homesick. I want the familiar again for a while.


I'm a beautiful, colorful, chaotic mess.


Do you still want to see photos? Shall I put photos up for you after I get back to Utah? Let me know if it's something you'd like to see "after the fact..."

I don't think pictures would be very appropriate. I hear they steal aboriginal people's souls... so you can keep em, hon.
