the not so fathomable concept of time

one week from this moment, i will be departing kathmandu and entering delhi, india for the third time. in delhi, i will have 4 days during which the group will present their ISPs and we will all prepare to leave.

less than two weeks from today, i will be walking out of the airport in cleveland, ohio.

many westerners have warned me... morbidly... of how intense the culture shock is going back. "no matter how much you think you can handle it" they say. "it is really rough."

this is what i am trying to prepare myself for. i think i am going to need your help...

sometimes

as life's rushing by

and thoughts are flowing in all shapes and sizes
and chaos ensues and conflict arises
and transition is near in its bittersweet glory
and all that's around seems more like a story

the best thing to do to soak it all in

is lean back

and watch.




my dear jacqueline,
i know you will approach the nearing transition with all the grace and courage that you behold in your every endeavour. you are going to be welcomed into a space of love with open arms. don't let these impending thoughts of potential culture shock thwart the remainder of your incredible experience there.
all my love to you. <3
