Spotty Internet in the Hills
Know I have photos and stories, but it may be another week. Thinking of Home and seeking sweetness and nourishment to fuel myself for the continuing struggles.

Prayer
As a nontheist, I’ve not been much called to prayer throughout my life. In these days of social crisis though, in addition to taking concrete action, though not directed at a being, I find myself praying as a mode of personal comforting.
We leave Delhi before dawn tomorrow to go up into the Himalayan hills where we will be meditating and chanting in a place of great beauty.
I’m told there’s WiFi. I will no doubt find myself reading the news, signing petitions, and sending comment letters, as well as posting photos, but perhaps not every day.

Happy Diwali
True light-making: art out of trash.

Sightseeing
The guides who took us to the Taj Mahal and Red Fort were very good. What I appreciated was that they spoke about social issues, including education/literacy, and global warming. Alas, internet connection (lobby only) too erratic today for a photo here.

Neem Karoli Baba Meets Baby Krishna
I’m not quite sure how I ended up in this spot, but oh my was this baby charming.

Jai Hanuman
I’ve just arrived in Vrindavan. I have been advised to hold on to my glasses. The monkeys like to grab them and hurl them to the ground.
