It is difficult to believe that in just a few days this trip will continue and has the potential to become even more dramatic, intense and full of surprises with extremes in sights, sounds, tastes and smells. On February 7, we will depart Chiangmai in northern Thailand for western India--next stop Calcutta. Since I am a highly sensitive being, much of the time during this trip I have found myself struggling within to find balance. It is interesting and unsettling to feel so groundless apparently from not having constancy on a daily basis, any real responsibilities or a known purpose. It seems very strange.
During quiet moments, while practicing some light yoga, I reconnect with inner emotions. Later, I come into a state of calm while I meditate and listen to the steady drone of the tamboura. I follow my breath and try to understand and accept my travel related experiences--the changing world, cultural differences, food, food illness, customs and even my sometimes opposing differences and pace of my partner.
