Impressions and Where They Come From
August 16, 2003
The following few posts will also contain some interesting stories...in no particular order.This will be a collection of short notes I've jotted down and scribbled along the way and never gotten to writing up in actual order, but since it doesn't really matter when or where they happened, I can simply begin writing and continue this until I get all the odd notes cleared away...hope it won't take too long...the problem is, that everyday different surprises come along, so catching up on "old stuff" or putting ideas and thoughts down on paper becomes difficult.
I have not "come away" to sit writing all day...this is just a by-product of a journey into the unknown of India and myself...so far, most things have come from the "inhalation" and "absorption" of external events, acquaintances and places-and the impressions are the results of my "digesting" them with my own personal prejudices and past life experiences...no two people understand or perceive the same event, see the same place, or meet the same person and come away with the same feelings and energies...so -what you read now, as you have until now, is what has been processed by what has become the me of today...I imagine that even 6 months ago this too would have been different, and when I re-read my journal from 2 years ago, I realize how different I am today than I was then...our perceptions do change as we ourselves change-which is one of the things which makes our lives as dynamic as they are-if we are open enough to allow the flow of energy, thoughts, impressions etc. to flow without resistance.
Today is my last day here and I am feeling a little sad...not about moving on, but about leaving here...it has been an extraordinary 3 weeks in my life...a true eye-opening learning experience and I will be ever grateful to Ravin the nudnick for not letting up over all the past months and finally convincing me to come...anyone else would have given up on me a long time ago with my constantly saying "no"...but he never relented and it was a truly memorial period of time for me.
I did a trial packing earlier today and was amazed at the amount of stuff that fits into the bag I bought...Everything I planned to take is in and a there is still room to fit in a couple of more things....I still have to put my hand purse in and my light backpack, so that will fill up the remaining space....I am quite pleased, but know I will begin to get butterflies as the train trip approaches, so have packed my Rescue in an easily accessible place and will Reiki ahead for extra protection and peace.
